When he had nearly reached the door, Marionetta said, 'Farewell. Scythrop looked back. 'Farewell, Scythrop, she repeated, 'you will never see me again. 'Never see you again, Marionetta? 'I shall go from hence to-morrow, perhaps to-day; and before we meet again, one of us will be married, and we might as well be dead, you know, Scythrop.
'Mr Hilary, it is all I know about the matter. 'Sir, this pleasantry is very unseasonable. I perceive that my niece is sported with in a most unjustifiable manner, and I shall see if she will be more successful in obtaining an intelligible answer. And he departed in search of Marionetta. Scythrop was now in a hopeless predicament.
Scythrop's schemes for regenerating the world and detecting his seven golden candlesticks went on very slowly. On retiring to his tower one day Scythrop found it pre-occupied.
Glowry ordered his travelling chariot, and departed from the abbey. On the morning of the eventful Thursday, Scythrop ascended the turret with a telescope and spied anxiously along the road, till Raven summoned him to dinner at five, when he descended to his own funeral feast.

Scythrop was confounded. What was become of all her passion and her tears?
He insisted particularly on the text, 'One man among a thousand have I found, but a woman amongst all those have I not found. 'How could he expect it, said Scythrop, 'when the whole thousand were locked up in his seraglio? His experience is no precedent for a free state of society like that in which we live.
When she had manoeuvred him into a fever of passionate love, she often felt and always assumed indifference: if she found that her coldness was contagious, and that Scythrop either was, or pretended to be, as indifferent as herself, she would become doubly kind, and raise him again to that elevation from which she had previously thrown him down.
