Solmes makes it his boast, that he is to be married in a few days to one of the shyest women in England: that my brother explains his meaning: This shy creature, he says, is me; and he assures every one, that his younger sister is very soon to be Mr. Solmes's wife. He tells me of the patterns bespoken which my mother mentioned to me. Not one thing escapes him that is done or said in this house.
Solmes's address May I, my dear, is it best to continue it a little longer, in order to extricate myself out of the other difficulty, by giving up all thoughts of Mr. Lovelace? Whose advice can I now ask but yours. All my relations are met. They are at breakfast together. Mr. Solmes is expected. I am excessively uneasy. I must lay down my pen. They are all going to church together.
Your resolution not to leave your father's house is right if you can stay in it, and avoid being Solmes's wife. I think you have answered Solmes's letter, as I should have answered it. Will you not compliment me and yourself at once, by saying, that was right? You have, in your letters to your uncle and the rest, done all that you ought to do.
You yourself have given me a hint, which I will speak plainer to, than prudence, perhaps, on any other occasion, would allow. Solmes's favour, I will then contrive some way to meet you with Miss Howe, who is not your enemy: and when the solemnity has passed, I shall think that step a duty, which till then will be criminal to take: since now my father's authority is unimpeached by any greater.
'If I will transport him with the honour of my choice of this one way, settlements shall be drawn, with proper blanks, which I shall fill up as I pleased. Let him but have my commands from my own mouth, all my doubts and scruples from my own lips; and only a repetition, that I will not, on any consideration, be Solmes's wife; and he shall be easy.
A fortification had been made by French engineers out of the hedges and buildings; and a breastwork had been thrown up close to the water side, Tyrconnel was there; and under him were Richard Hamilton and Antrim. Schomberg gave the word. Solmes's Blues were the first to move. They marched gallantly, with drums beating, to the brink of the Boyne.
