ABSTRACT
THE situation of Celestina was rendered infinitely more uneasy to her by the transactions of the last two or three days; and her spirits could no longer support her – The certainty of meeting Willoughby wherever she went, and of meeting him only to be more and more convinced that he had ceased to feel any degree of affection for her, made the thoughts of continuing her present mode of life, which had any charms in her opinion, quite insupportable to her. The conversation about the duel – the questions she should be asked, and the impertinence she must attend to, increaseda the aversion with which she thought of appearing again in public; and she determined, at any hazard, to propose to Lady Horatia, that she might go into the country, and there wait, wherever she pleased, till she should herself quit London.
