But his resolutions to run away with and to hide the poor Solmes for a month or so, O my dear! what a wretch have I let run away with me, instead of Solmes! I asked him, if he thought such enormities as these, such defiances of the laws of society, would have passed unpunished?
Solmes, had not a provision made me of near this that we have made for you. Wonder not, Clary, that I write to you thus plainly and freely upon this subject. Your behaviour hitherto has been such, that we have had no opportunity of entering minutely into the subject with you.
Solmes; that gentleman's patience, and great affection for you; and the little opportunity you have given yourself to be acquainted either with his merit, or his proposals: having considered two points more; to wit, the wounded authority of a father; and Mr.
But, on second thoughts, I believe it was contrived, that he should be here at supper, to know the result of the conference between my mother and me, and that my father, on his return, might find us together. Solmes, as might encourage her to make the favourable report to my father which I had besought her to make. My sister triumphed.

But now, on this subject, let me tell you how I have argued with myself for still you must remember, that I am upon the extenuating part of his character. A great deal of the treatment a wife may expect from him, will possibly depend upon herself.
While Solmes, smiling no doubt to himself at a hope so remote, by offers only, obtains all their interests; and doubts not to join to his own the estate I am envied for; which, for the conveniency of its situation between two of his, will it seems be of twice the value to him that it would be of to any other person; and is therefore, I doubt not, a stronger motive with him than the wife.
This, Clary, is a pretty pattern enough: but this is quite charming! I would advise you to make your appearance in it. And this, were I you, should be my wedding night-gown And this my second dressed suit! Won't you give orders, love, to have your grandmother's jewels new set? Or will you thing to shew away in the new ones Mr. Solmes intends to present to you?
Solmes was to be at hand And your father was previously to try his authority over you, in order to make you sign the settlements All of it a romantic contrivance of your wild-headed foolish brother, I make no doubt.
