'A thousand smiths' hammers are beating in my head! Tell Isabella to shun me; this uproar is owing to her; and should she or any one else aggravate my anger at present, I shall get wild.

And, Nelly, say to Edgar, if you see him again to-night, that I'm in danger of being seriously ill.

I wish it may prove true.

He has startled and distressed me shockingly! I want to frighten him.

Besides, he might come and begin a string of abuse or complainings; I'm certain I should recriminate, and God knows where we should end! Will you do so, my good Nelly?
You are aware that I am no way blamable in this matter.
