Where is Sir Rowland?"
"In the library, your ladyship. “I may be leaving where I am in a few days, so very likely you

said, was not less remarkable for the extreme delicacy of her features, and the
faultless symmetry of her figure, than for her wonderful strength and agility,
conducted herself in the present encounter; with what dexterity she parried every
blow aimed against her by her adversary, whose head and face, already marked
by various ruddy streams, showed how successfully her own hits had been made;
—how she drew him hither and thither, now leading him on, now driving him
suddenly back; harassing and exhausting him in every possible way, and making
it apparent that she could at any moment put an end to the fight, and only
delayed the finishing stroke to make his punishment the more severe. There are so many things I want to tell
you, and they stand on such different levels, that the effect is necessarily
confusing and discordant, and I find myself doubting if I am really giving you
the thread of emotion that should run through all this letter.
