Solmes is concluded: that nothing but her compliance with her duty is wanting; of consequence, that there is no room for your expostulation, or hers either. Be assured of this, Mrs. Norton, said my father, in an angry tone, that we will not be baffled by her. We will not appear like fools in this matter, and as if we have no authority over our own daughter.
Solmes will neither eat you, nor drink you. Let us see, whether we are to be complied with in any thing, or not. After a very little deliberation, I resolved to comply with this condition. All I fear is, that Mr. I sent down the following to my uncle: HONOURED SIR, Although I see not what end the proposed condition can answer, I comply with it. I wish I could with every thing expected of me.
If he takes me at my word, I shall need to be less solicitous for the opinions of his relations in my favour: and yet one would be glad to be well thought of by the worthy. I assure him, 'That were there not such a man in the world as himself, I would not have Mr. Solmes.
Your own, that you cannot think, as matters circumstanced, that a match with a man so obnoxious as he now is to us all, is proper to be thought of: What do you propose to do? What, Clary, are your own thoughts of the matter?

Solmes came in before we had done tea. My uncle Antony presented him as a gentleman he had a particular friendship for. My father said, 'Mr. Solmes is my friend, Clarissa Harlowe. My mother looked at him, and at me; and I at her, with eyes appealing for pity, while my brother and sister sir'd him at every word." "February 24. They drive on at a furious rate. The man lives here.
He seems to have made up his mind to avoid the house, taking a visible path which skirts it, and possibly to strike away from it into the wider parkland, over yonder where the great oaks are. He is soon lost in a hazel coppice. Then she thinks. That dog will be shot if Solmes catches sight of it. She knows old Stephen. Oh, for but one word with the dog's master!
Lovelace out of hand, and take up her own estate, if she were me; and there would be an end to it. And Mr. Lovelace, she said, was a fine gentleman: Mr. Solmes was not worthy to buckle his shoes. Miss Hervey told me further, that her mother was desired to come to me, to fetch me in; but she excused herself. I should have all my friends, she said, she believed, sit in judgment upon me.
They will ruin the flower and ornament of their family. As how, Miss Dolly? Did she not explain herself? As how, my dear? Yes; she said, Mr. Solmes would have given up his claim to you; for he said, you hated him, and there were no hopes; and your mamma was willing he should; and to have you taken at your word, to renounce Mr. Lovelace and to live single.
Solmes, and to make some excuses to him for past conduct, in order to be able to meet him somewhere else with the less concern to yourself for your freedoms with him, he shall attend you where you please. If you have a mind to read the settlements, before they are read to you for your signing, they shall be sent you up Who knows, but they will help you to some fresh objections?
Solmes approached me as soon as I entered, cringing to the ground, a visible confusion in every feature of his face. After half a dozen choaked-up Madams, he was very sorry he was very much concerned it was his misfortune and there he stopped, being unable presently to complete a sentence. This gave me a little more presence of mind.
