Clarissa Harlowe, Volume 9 (of 9) The History Of A Young Lady
Excerpt
LETTER I. Belford to Lovelace.—
Her silent devotion. Strong symptoms of her approaching dissolution.
Comforts her cousin and him. Wishes she had her parents’ last blessing:
but God, she says, would not let her depend for comfort on any but
Himself. Repeats her request to the Colonel, that he will not seek to
avenge her wrongs; and to Belford, that he will endeavour to heal all
breaches.
