ABSTRACT
The unhappy Ethelinde had hardly been allowed time to recover from the immediate terror of Davenant’s ferocious behaviour before she had been compelled to hear the excuses of Woolaston for his friend; and when she hoped to be alone the rest of the evening, was to undergo the sharp remonstrances of his wife, who however disinclined to give herself any unnecessary trouble, yet as she saw her husband, or fancied she saw him made uneasy by the behaviour of Ethelinde to his friend Davenant, she determined to speak to her about it in terms that should convince her of her disapprobation.
