ABSTRACT
‘My father and the Count were so enraged at Clementina’s elopement, that for some time they could not tell what resolution to come to. At length Don Gabriel declared that he would search all Spain, nay the whole world, till he had recovered her; and, on his leaving Castile he swore he never would return to it without Clementina.—It was then that I discovered he passionately loved my sister, notwithstanding the indifference he always affected. For my own part, as my honour was as much concerned as his, I resolved not to be behind hand with him in this expedition; so we both set out together, like true knights-errant, uncertain what road to take; for Clementina had concerted her scheme so cunningly, that nobody was privy to her flight but her woman, who was the companion of it.
