completed, and Wilhelminus returned to take possession of his

Cottage. Robertus accompanied him, with his Lady the amiable
Cecilia and her two lovely Sisters Arabella and Marina to whom

Wilhelminus was tenderly attached, and a large number of
Attendants.--An ordinary Genius might probably have been

embarrassed, in endeavouring to accomodate so large a party, but
Wilhelminus with admirable presence of mind gave orders for the

immediate erection of two noble Tents in an open spot in the
Forest adjoining to the house. Their Construction was both

simple and elegant--A couple of old blankets, each supported by
four sticks, gave a striking proof of that taste for architecture

and that happy ease in overcoming difficulties which were some of
Wilhelminus's most striking Virtues.
