do not feel more enwraped by the brilliancy of his Career�察�than by 

the   tranquil   and morbid   Virtues   of   any   opposing   Character。   Our 

approbation   of   the   Latter   is   but   Eleemosynary。!These   are   the 

Novels which enlarge the primitive Capabilities of the Heart�察�and

being  too   much   tired   of   them   all�察  �to   stay   any   longer。!The   truth 

was     that  Sir   Edward      whom      circumstances       had   confined     very 

much to one spot had read more sentimental Novels than agreed 

with him。 His fancy had been early caught by all the impassioned�察�

and most exceptionable parts of Richardson�察�and such Authors as 

have since appeared to tread in Richardson¨s steps�察�so far as Man¨s 

determined   pursuit   of  Woman   in   defiance   of   every   opposition   of

Edward。 With him�察�such Conduct was Genius�察�Fire and Feeling。! 

It interested and inflamed him�察�and he was always   more   anxious 

for   its  Success    and   mourned       over   its  Discomfitures      with   more 

Tenderness        than    could    ever   have    been    contemplated        by   the 

Authors。!Though            he  owed     many     of  his  ideas    to  this   sort  of 

reading�察�it were unjust to say that he read nothing else�察�or that his 

Language        were   not   formed     on   a  more     general    Knowledge       of 

modern   Literature。!He   read   all   the   Essays�察  �Letters�察  �Tours   and 

Criticisms of the day!and with the same ill´luck which made him 

derive     only    false   Principles     from     Lessons     of   Morality�察    �and 

incentives to Vice from the History of its Overthrow�察�he gathered 

only hard words and involved sentences from the style of our most 

approved Writers。 

    Sir   Edward¨s   great   object   in   life   was    to   be   seductive。!With 

such personal advantages as he knew himself to possess�察�and such 

Talents as he did also give himself credit for�察�he regarded it as his 

Duty。!He felt that he was formed to be a dangerous Man!quite 

in   the   line   of   the   Lovelaces。!The   very   name   of   Sir   Edward   he 

thought�察     �carried    some     degree     of  fascination     with    it。!To     be

Woman        with     any    pretensions      to   Beauty�察     �he   was     entitled

Compliments and Rhapsody on   the   slightest  acquaintance�察  �but  it 

was   Clara   alone   on   whom   he   had   serious   designs�察  �it   was   Clara 

whom he meant to seduce。!Her seduction was quite determined 

on。   Her  Situation   in   every  way  called  for  it。   She   was   his   rival   in 

Lady D。¨s favour�察�she was young�察�lovely and dependant。!He had

very early seen the necessity of the case�察�and had now been long 

trying with cautious assiduity to make an impression on her heart�察�

and   to   undermine   her   Principles。!Clara   saw   through   him�察  �and 

had   not   the   least   intention   of   being   seduced!but   she   bore   with 

him patiently enough to confirm the sort of attachment which her 

personal Charms had raised。!A greater degree of discouragement 

indeed would not have affected Sir Edward。 He was armed against 

the highest pitch of Disdain or Aversion。!If she could not be won 

by    affection�察  �he   must    carry   her   off。  He   knew     his  Business。! 

Already   had   he   had   many   Musings         on   the  Subject。    If  he  were 

constrained       so   to  act�察  �he  must     naturally    wish    to   strike   out 

something new�察�to exceed those who had gone before him!and he 

felt a strong curiosity to ascertain whether the Neighbourhood of 

Tombuctoo        might    not   afford   some     solitary   House    adapted     for 

Clara¨s     reception�察�but       the   Expence     alas�   �of  Measures      in  that 

masterly   style   was   ill´suited   to   his   Purse�察  �and   Prudence   obliged 

him to prefer the quietest sort of ruin and disgrace for the object of 

his Affections�察�to the more renowned。

Delighted   to  have  such  good news   for  Mr。   and   Mrs。   P。�察  �who   had 

both   gone   home   some   time   before�察  �she   proceeded   for   Trafalgar

contending  for   the   last   two   hours   with   a   very   fine   wind   blowing 

directly on shore�察�but she had not  reached   the  little  Lawn�察 �when 

she   saw  a  Lady  walking  nimbly behind   her  at no  great   distance�察�

and   convinced   that   it   could   be   no   acquaintance   of   her   own�察  �she 

resolved to hurry on and get into the House if possible before her。

Looks on seeing her�察�were a moment¨s astonishment!but another 

moment brought Mr。 P。 into the Hall to welcome the Sister he had 

seen from the Drawing room�察�and she was soon introduced to Miss
