And I will freely admit this.

If the delay which I now purpose is so contrary to your own plans as to make your marriage, under such circumstances, not that which you had expected, I know that you are free to tell me so, and to say that our engagement shall be over.

I am well aware that I can have no right to bind you to a marriage at one period which you had only contemplated as to take place at another period.
I think I may promise that I will obey any wish you may express in anything,--except in that one thing which you urged in your last letter.
Kate is going down to Yarmouth with Mrs Greenow, and I shall see no more of her probably till next year, as she will be due in Westmoreland after that.

George left me at the door when he brought me home, and declared that he intended to vanish out of London.

Whether in town or out, he is never to be seen at this period of the year.
