as_o to_o have_v confess_v my_o shame_n but_o our_o opportunity_n of_o speak_v be_v so_o few_o and_o letter_n so_o impossible_a to_o be_v send_v without_o discovery_n that_o perhaps_o this_o be_v

ah_o madam_n say_v he_o do_v not_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o have_v raise_v i_o to_o the_o great_a happiness_n in_o the_o world_n throw_v i_o with_o one_o word_n beneath_o your_o scorn_n much_o easy_a it_o be_v to_o die_v and_o know_v i_o be_o tove_v than_o never_o never_o hope_v to_o hear_v that_o bless_a sound_n again_o from_o that_o beautiful_a mouth_n ah_o madam_n rather_o let_v i_o make_v use_n of_o this_o one_o opportunity_n our_o happy_a luck_n have_v give_v we_o and_o contrive_v how_o we_o may_v for_o ever_o see_v and_o speak_v to_o each_o other_o let_v we_o assure_v one_o another_o there_o be_v a_o thousand_o way_n to_o escape_v a_o place_n so_o rigid_a as_o deny_v we_o that_o happiness_n and_o deny_v the_o fair_a maid_n in_o the_o world_n the_o privilege_n of_o her_o creation_n

be_v it_o possible_a you_o shall_v propose_v a_o thing_n so_o wicked_a and_o can_v it_o enter_v into_o your_o imagination_n because_o i_o have_v so_o far_o forget_v my_o virtue_n and_o my_o vow_n to_o

if_o it_o be_v so_o and_o that_o you_o be_v resolve_v to_o try_v if_o my_o love_n be_v eternal_a without_o hope_n without_o expectation_n of_o any_o other_o joy_n than_o see_v and_o adore_v you_o

of_o all_o the_o fair_a and_o you_o shall_v see_v how_o please_v i_o will_v be_v to_o languish_v here_o but_o as_o you_o see_v i_o decay_v for_o sure_o so_o i_o shall_v do_v not_o triumph_v over_o

though_o rich_a in_o itself_o yet_o unfit_a alone_a to_o sustain_v life_n it_o shall_v be_v for_o ever_o dedicate_v to_o the_o lovely_a isabel_n but_o oh_o that_o time_n can_v be_v long_o fate_n

she_o go_v to_o bed_n with_o a_o resolution_n to_o think_v over_o all_o she_o have_v to_o do_v and_o to_o consider_v how_o she_o shall_v manage_v this_o great_a affair_n of_o her_o life_n i_o have_v

to_o the_o destruction_n of_o life_n it_o self_n to_o conquer_v the_o unruly_a flame_n but_o still_o it_o burn_v and_o rage_v but_o the_o more_o so_o at_o last_o she_o be_v force_v to_o permit_v that_o to_o eonquer_v she_o she_o can_v not_o conquer_v and_o submit_v to_o her_o fate_n as_o a_o thing_n destine_v she_o by_o heaven_n itself_o and_o after_o all_o this_o opposition_n she_o fancy_v it_o be_v resist_v even_o divine_a providence_n to_o struggle_v any_o long_o with_o her_o heart_n and_o this_o be_v her_o real_a belief_n she_o the_o more_o patient_o give_v way_n to_o all_o the_o thought_n that_o please_v she_o as_o soon_o as_o she_o be_v lay_v without_o discourse_v as_o she_o use_v to_o do_v to_o kalteriena_n after_o they_o be_v in_o bed_n she_o pretend_v to_o be_v sleepy_a and_o turn_v from_o she_o settle_a herself_o to_o profound_a think_v and_o be_v resolve_v to_o conclude_v the_o matter_n between_o her_o heart_n and_o her_o vow_n of_o devotion_n that_o night_n that_o

without_o it_o that_o she_o be_v human_a and_o no_o angel_n and_o that_o possible_o that_o sin_n may_v be_v as_o soon_o forgive_v as_o another_o that_o since_o all_o her_o devout_a endeavour_n can_v not_o defend_v she_o from_o the_o cause_n heaven_n ought_v to_o excuse_v the_o effect_n that_o as_o to_o show_v her_o face_n so_o she_o see_v that_o of_o henault_n always_o turn_v charm_v as_o it_o

equivocation_n and_o katteriena_n assure_v she_o she_o believe_v she_o and_o be_v infinite_o glad_a she_o have_v vanquish_v a_o passion_n that_o will_v have_v prove_v destructive_a to_o her_o repose_n

more_o upon_o your_o guard_n than_o you_o be_v before_o while_o she_o speak_v she_o fix_v her_o eye_n on_o isabel_n to_o see_v what_o alteration_n it_o will_v make_v in_o her_o heart_n and_o look_n but_o the_o masterpiece_n of_o this_o young_a maid_n art_n be_v show_v in_o this_o minute_n for_o she_o command_v herself_o so_o well_o that_o her_o very_a look_v dissemble_v and_o show_v no_o

which_o absolute_o subdue_v katteriena_n she_o reply_v i_o be_o almost_o glad_a he_o have_v confess_v a_o passion_n for_o i_o and_o you_o shall_v confess_v to_o he_o you_o tell_v i_o of_o it_o and_o
