But would you see his mind unfettered, read Troilus and Cressida, where he treats the materials of the Iliad in his own fashion."

Her mother places confidence in me. I am not only a relation, but treated as a friend of the family. I am not in love with Lady Geraldine. I admire, esteem, respect her ladyship; and I wish to see her united to a man, if such a man there be, who may deserve her. We understand one another now.
