But, after all, Belford, I would fain know why people call such free-livers as you and me hypocrites. That's a word I hate; and should take it very ill to be called by it. For myself, I have as good motions, and, perhaps, have them as frequently as any body: all the business is, they don't hold; or, to speak more in character, I don't take the care some do to conceal my lapses.
But the hours passed and the sky cleared and the horse was reported to be fit for work again. Fortune was against the lady of the tower; she had no choice but to submit. Mrs. Delvin had just sent word to Emily that the carriage would be ready for her in ten minutes, when the coachman who had driven Mirabel to Belford returned. He brought news which agreeably surprised both the ladies.
And so I withdrew, with the same veneration as a petitioning subject would withdraw from the presence of his sovereign. But, O Belford! had she had but the least patience with me had she but made me think she would forgive this initiatory ardour surely she will not be always thus guarded. I had not been a moment by myself, but I was sensible that I had half forfeited my newly-assumed character.
But Lovelace finds out her refuge, and sends two women, who pretend to be his relatives, Lady Betty and Lady Sarah, and Clarissa is beguiled back to Mrs. Sinclair's for an interview. Once inside the house, however, she is not allowed to leave it. Her health is now seriously injured, and her letters home have been answered by her father's curse. Lovelace to his friend, John Belford: "June 18.
At this word Mr. Belford struggled with his bonds, and in a broken voice he cried: "Oh, Mr. Denny, spare me! Let me not be arrested. I will restore every " "Silence, sir!" said Elmer. "Not a word till you are spoken to. What does he want, John?" "He says he must see Mr. Denny. It's very important and, oh, sir, he's a'most beside himself, and I wouldn't let him in." "Call him in at once," said Mr.
It was past eleven now, and he had still other duties to attend to before keeping his word with Mrs. Belford. "Are you going," the invalid asked impatiently, making an effort to rise in his narrow bed. "Look here Elersley," he cried, "I want to thank you, to praise you, if I could, but my poor voice is shattered and weak.

Nothing could be finer than the situation of Upton, placed on the summit of a steep acclivity, looking over a rich and fertile valley to a range of woody hills; nothing more beautiful than the approach from Belford, the road leading across a common between a double row of noble oaks, the ground on one side sinking with the abruptness of a north-country burn, whilst a clear spring, bursting from the hill side, made its way to the bottom between patches of shaggy underwood and a grove of smaller trees; a vine-covered cottage just peeping between the foliage, and the picturesque outline of the Court, with its old-fashioned porch, its long windows, and its tall, clustered chimneys towering in the distance.
She was obliged to throw herself into my protection nor thought herself unhappy in it, till childbed pangs seized her: then penitence, and death, overtook her the same hour! Excuse a tear, Belford!
