ABSTRACT

Tho’ I had not the least room to doubt but that the information I had given the father of Narcissa would have all the success I wish’d, yet I could not avoid being extremely curious to see in what manner the persons concern’d would behave on this occasion; – accordingly I went to the house the next morning about eleven, expecting to nd that the maid had been turn’d out of doors, the mistress in tears for her disappointment, and the old gentleman rejoicing in the thoughts of having saved his beloved daughter from undoing herself.
