She paused: then proceeded. I have told you, madam, my reflv^ctions. Before you, chevalier, I have said enough And now advise me wh it to do. To say truth, I almost as much longto.quit Eng-land, as I did to fly to it. I am unhappy. O my fluctuating heart! When, when, shall I be settled?

What, madam, can I say? answered Sir Charles: What can I advise? You say your are not happy. You think your parents are not so. We all believe you can make them so. Rut God forbid it should be to your own unhappiness, who have already been so great a sufferer, though hardly a greater than everyone of your friends has been from your sufferings. I pleadnot, madam, the causeof any one man. I have told you. that your father himself advises a certain nobleman to give over all hopes of you: and that person himself says, that he will endeavour to do so; first, because heproniised you, thathe would; and next, because he is now too well assured, that vou have an aversion to him.

An aversion, chevalier! God forbid that I should have an aversion to any human creature! I thought my behaviour to that gentleman had been such She stopt

It was great; it was worthy of Clementina. But this is his apprehension: and if it be just. God for-bid that Lady Clementina should think of him!

My dear Lady Grandison, do ynii advise me upon all that has passed in this coiifcronce. You assured me at the beginning of it, that my peace of mind was necessary to your happiness.

From my affection tor you, my dear X/ady Clemen-tina, and from my affection only, it is necessary. You cannot have a distress, whicli will not, if I know it, be a distress to me. You know best what you can do. God give you happiness, and make yours the foundation of that of your indulgent parents! They are of opinion, that a settled life with some vvorthy man of your own country and faith, will greatly contribute to it. Youi’ mamma is firmly of opinion it will: so is Mrs. Beaumont. You see that you can-not, in justice to your brother, and to his children yet unborn, as well as in duty to your deceased grandtiithers, assume the veil: you see that the unnatural l.aurana, whom you still are so great as to love, cannot enjoy a considerable legacy bequeathed her, but on your marriage. If you have a dislike to the noblenjan who has so large u sliare in the affections of all your family, by no means think of him. Rejoice, madam, in a single life, if you think you can be happy in it, till some man offer whom you can fitvour with your esteem. Let 7i2e be honoured mean time with the continuance of your love, as I shall be found to deserve it. We are already sisters. In presence, we will be one; in absence, we will not be divided; for we will mingle souls and sentiments on paper.
