That you are not so is the ground of all their foolish attempts, and of their insolent hopes in Solmes's favour. O be mine! We shall then have all the world with us. And every body will applaud an event that every body expects. Was the devil in me! I no more intended all this ecstatic nonsense, than I thought the same moment of flying in the air! All power is with this charming creature.
All I propose is, that you will embrace such a protection but not till you have tried every way, to avoid the necessity for it. Then will you be that Solmes's! But, by all that's sacred, neither he, nor your brother, nor your uncles, shall enjoy their triumph Perdition seize my soul, if they shall!
Solmes's interposition O Madam, let me not owe an obligation to Mr. Solmes. I cannot repay it, except by my thanks; and those only on condition that he will decline his suit. I beseech you, do ! O Madam, cried he, believe, believe, believe me, it is impossible. While you are single, I will hope. While that hope is encouraged by so many worthy friends, I must persevere.
Solmes's terms might be dispensed with; since the same terms could not be expected from Mr. Wyerley. I therefore desired to know, whether my answer, if it should be in favour of Mr. Wyerley, would release me from Mr. Solmes? For I owned, that I had not the aversion to him, that I had to the other. Nay, she had no commission to propose such a thing.
Lovelace only that I may be apprized of some things, that would convince me what a vile man he is, and what a wretched husband he must make. I might give them what degree of credit I pleased; and take them with abatement for Mr. Solmes's interestedness, if I thought fit. But it might be of use to me, were it but to question Mr. Lovelace indirectly upon some of them, that related to myself.
We will now proceed to another, which will require your utmost attention. It will give you the reason why Mr. Solmes's presence is requisite Ay, said my uncle, and shew you what sort of a man somebody is. Mr. Solmes, pray favour us, in the first place, with the letter you received from your anonymous friend. I will, Sir.
Solmes, are all that is meant at present. I am, as you shall be pleased to deserve, Yours, &c. So here is the master-stroke of my brother's policy! Called upon to consent to go to my uncle Antony's avowedly to receive Mr. Solmes's visits! A chapel! A moated-house!
Solmes's testimony was that a man in rough grey suit frieze or homespun addressed her while she was looking out for the mail-cart, with possible letters, and asked to be directed to Ancester Towers; which is, at this point, invisible from the road. She suspected him at first of being a vagrant of some new sort then of mere eccentricity. For plenty of eccentrics came to get a sight of the Towers.
She tells me, that although my brother and sister were blamed for being so hasty with me, yet when they made their report, and my uncle Antony his, of my provocations, they were all more determined than ever in Mr. Solmes's favour.
My eye, were you to see it, when it seems to you so gladdened, as you mentioned in a former, is more than ready to overflow, even at the very passages perhaps upon which you impute to me the archness of exultation. You ask me to advise you how to behave upon Solmes's visit. I cannot for my life. I know they expect a great deal from it: you had not else had your long day complied with.
