Jewkes
shall wait upon you part of the way: And I hope you'll find me in a
better disposition to receive you there, than I am at parting with you
here.
Had I not hoped, that this was partly put on to intimidate my lady, I
believe I could not have borne it: But it was grievous to me; for I saw
he was most sincerely in a passion.
I was afraid, said she, he would be angry at you, as well as me; for well
do I know his unreasonable violence, when he is moved. But one word,
sir, said she; Pardon Pamela, if you won't me; for she has committed no
offence, but that of good-nature to me, and at my request. I will be
gone myself, directly as I was about to do, had you not prevented me.
I prevented you, said he, through love; but you have strung me for it,
through hatred. But as for my Pamela, I know, besides the present
moment, I cannot be angry with her; and therefore I desire her never to
see me, on such occasions, till I can see her in the temper I ought to be
in, when so much sweetness approaches me. 'Tis therefore I say, my
dearest, leave me now.
But, sir, said I, must I leave you, and let you go to Bedfordshire
without me? Oh, dear sir, how can I?--Said my lady, You may go to-
morrow, both of you, as you had designed; and I will go away this
afternoon: And, since I cannot be forgiven, will try to forget I have a
brother.
