But destiny, in the shape of the Rev. Mr. Nasmyth, came between me and Miss Temple: I saw her in her travelling dress step into a post-chaise, shortly after the marriage ceremony; I watched the chaise mount the hill and disappear beyond its brow; and then retired to my own room, and there spent in solitude the greatest part of the half-holiday granted in honour of the occasion.
Ma il destino, sotto le apparenze del reverendo Nasmyth, venne a porsi fra me e la signorina Temple. Poco dopo la cerimonia nuziale la vidi salire in una carrozza di posta e tornai in camera mia dove passai, sola, la più gran parte di quel giorno di vacanza.
