In her self-appointed office of the instructor's assistant, she gave this one or that the chair, until the young astronomer thought it high time to protest.

I am at this moment her affianced husband; and I find that, in spite of all that she has said to you, which was enough, I should have thought, to keep any man of spirit out of her presence, you still persecute her by going to her house, and forcing yourself upon her presence.
