The health of my young friend allowed him to breathe the fresh air and to walk.

A friend of mine, by name Wortley, who had spent two months from the city, and to whom, in the course of a familiar correspondence, I had mentioned the foregoing particulars, returned from his rural excursion.

He was posting, on the evening of the day of his arrival, with a friendly expedition, to my house, when he overtook Mervyn going in the same direction.

He was surprised to find him go before him into my dwelling, and to discover, which he speedily did, that this was the youth whom I had so frequently mentioned to him.

I was present at their meeting.
There was a strange mixture in the countenance of Wortley when they were presented to each other.
