But while he spoke, in joyful anticipation of the consent which he implored, Alice found means to collect together her resolution, which, staggered by the eagerness of her lover, the impulse of her own affections, and the singularity of her situation, seeming, in her case, to justify what would have been most blamable in another, had more than half abandoned her.

Vol. I, pp. 2-3.
