Excerpt from In Old New York "Apretty assemblage, Mr. Boylston." "As pretty, your Excellency, as I have seen in New York." "I hope the occasion may prove worthy of it. Have you made a choice, Miss Sophia?" inclining his head toward the young lady who sat in the farther comer of the carriage. "I am between the two horns of a dilemma, your Excellency," Miss Boylston answered, laughingly. "My sympathies run with the Virginian; but I confess my judgment leans toward the English horse. So you see I am at contraries whether to risk my judgment or my sentiments, for I should be vastly sorry to find either amiss." "Then back your sentiments," the Governor urged in good humour, "for 'tis a common experience that a young lady's most trustworthy guide is her heart."
