I have no position to lose, and no name to degrade.

Don't doubt I love you--don't let Miss Garth doubt my gratitude.

I go away miserable at leaving you; but I must go.

If I had loved you less dearly, I might have had the courage to say this in your presence--but how could I trust myself to resist your persuasions, and to bear the sight of your distress?
Farewell, my darling! Take a thousand kisses from me, my own best, dearest love, till we meet again.
"MAGDALEN." IV.
