Very well, very well, Madam! said my uncle, withdrawing his hands from mine: Could I ever have thought of this from you? For God's sake, dearest Madam, said Mr. Solmes, folding his hands And there he stopped. For God's sake, what, Sir? How came God's sake, and your sake, I pray you, to be the same? This silenced him. My uncle could only be angry; and that he was before. Well, well, well, Mr.
This letter was dated yesterday: so he was there last night, I suppose; and will be there this night; and I have not written a line to him: and now it is too late, were I determined what to write. I hope he will not go to Mr. Solmes. I hope he will not come hither. If he do either, I will break with him for ever. What have I to do with these headstrong spirits?
Every body takes notice, Miss, that you can say very cutting words in a cool manner, and yet not call names, as I have known some gentlefolks as well as others do when in a passion. But I wish you had permitted 'Squire Solmes to see you: he would have told you such stories of 'Squire Lovelace, as you would have turned your heart against him for ever.
I found in the usual place another letter from this diligent man: and, by its contents, a confirmation that nothing passes in this house but he knows it; and that almost as soon as it passes. Solmes. 'He assures me, however, that they are more and more determined to subdue me. 'He sends me the compliments of his family; and acquaints me with their earnest desire to see me amongst them.
Lovelace is as much out in his conjecture of Solomon, as of Socrates. The passage is in Ecclesiasticus, chap. xxv. Come, come, Jack, you and I are not so very bad, could we but stop where we are. He then gives the particulars of what passed between him and the Lady on his menaces relating to her brother and Mr. Solmes, and of his design to punish Betty Barnes and Joseph Leman.
If you don't think so, the more unworthy you. You shall see the plan, if you promise not to be prejudiced against it right or wrong. If you are not besotted to that man, I am sure you will like it. If you are, were Mr. Solmes an angel, it would signify nothing: for the devil is love, and love is the devil, when it gets into any of your heads. Many examples have I seen of that.
All I had to apprehend, was, that a daughter, so reluctantly carried off, would offer terms to her father, and would be accepted upon a mutual concedence; they to give up Solmes; she to give up me. And so I was contriving to do all I could to guard against the latter. But they seem resolved to perfect the work they have begun. What stupid creatures are there in the world!
They spoke well of the foreign officers generally, and did full justice to the valour and conduct with which Auverquerque had rescued the shattered remains of Mackay's division from what seemed certain destruction. But in defence of Solmes not a word was said.
Is he desirous of having me more and more incense my friends against myself? O my cunning, my ambitious brother! Ah, my dear! with a look of pity, as if she understood the meaning of my exclamation But must that necessarily be the case? It must, Madam, if they will take offence at me for declaring my steadfast detestation of Mr. Solmes, as a husband. Mr. Solmes is to be pitied, said she.
P.S. The insolent Betty Barnes has just now fired me anew, by reporting to me the following expressions of the hideous creature, Solmes 'That he is sure of the coy girl; and that with little labour to himself. What think you, my dear, of such a wretch as this! tutored, too, by that old surly misogynist, as he was deemed, Sir Oliver?
