But as to my _letting_ her marry Robert Martin, it is impossible; she has refused him, and so decidedly, I think, as must prevent any second application.

She must abide by the evil of having refused him, whatever it may be; and as to the refusal itself, I will not pretend to say that I might not influence her a little; but I assure you there was very little for me or for any body to do.

His appearance is so much against him, and his manner so bad, that if she ever were disposed to favour him, she is not now.

I can imagine, that before she had seen any body superior, she might tolerate him.
