Solmes's address. The visiting prohibition I will conform to. But as to that of not corresponding with you, nothing but the menace that our letters shall be intercepted, can engage my observation of it. She believes that this order is from my father, and that my mother has not been consulted upon it. For still, as she tells me, he speaks kind and praiseful things of me. Here is clemency!
An end will hereby be put to Solmes's hopes: and her friends, after a while, will be more studious to be reconciled to her than to get her back. So you will be a happy instrument of great good to all round. And this will one day be acknowledged by both families. You will then be every one's favourite; and every good servant, for the future, will be proud to be likened to honest Joseph Leman.
And let me beg of you one favour, Sir: It is this, That you will not give yourself any concern about a husband for me, till I shall have the forwardness to propose a wife to you. Pardon me, Sir; but I cannot help thinking, that could I have the art to get my father of my side, I should have as much right to prescribe for you, as you have for me. Solmes's visits.
He had followed him there in a hired gig; and, of course, found the connecting clue at Solmes's cottage, and followed him on to Dessington, calling at "T. Hancock's Old Truepenny" by the way, and being guided by T. Hancock's information to run the gig round by the road and intercept his man at the end of the short cut.
Solmes's nephew "and went home with Carrier Brantock. Didn't you see her?" "Just for a word, this morning. She hadn't so much to tell as you'd think. But it come to this that this old Goody Prichard's own sister to Granny Marrable. Got lost in Australia somehow. Anyhow, she's there now, at the Cottage. No getting out o' that!
You will see how Mr. Solmes's ill qualities are glossed over in it. What blemishes dies affection hide! But perhaps they may say to me, What faults does antipathy bring to light! Be pleased to send me back this letter of my uncle by the first return. I must answer you, though against my own resolution. Every body loves you; and you know they do. The very ground you walk upon is dear to most of us.
It is plain you have not a hope beyond that it is plain you have not, by putting all upon that precarious issue. O my dearest, dearest life, let me beseech you not to run a risque of this consequence. I can convince you that it will be more than a risque if you go back, that you will on Wednesday next be Solmes's wife.
For so I must still call you; since dear you may be to me, in every sense of the word we have taken into particular consideration some hints that fell yesterday from your good Norton, as if we had not, at Mr. Solmes's first application, treated you with that condescension, wherewith we have in all other instances treated you.
You may say, that I will do every thing they would have me do, if they will free me from Mr. Solmes's address. I must let you talk in your own way, or we shall never come to a point. I shall not matter in his roaring, as you call it. I will promise him, that, if I ever marry any other man, it shall not be till he is married.
If personal considerations had principal weight with me, either in Solmes's disfavour, or in your favour, I shall despise myself: if you value yourself upon them, in preference to the person of the poor Solmes, I shall despise you! You may glory in your fancied merits in getting me away: but the cause of your glory, I tell you plainly, is my shame.
