Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Samuel Richardson, Vol. 7 of 12: With a Prefatory Chapter of Biographical Criticism
O belford! What a hair's-breadth escape have I had! Such a one, that I tremble between terror and joy at the thoughts of what might have happened, and did not.
What a perverse girl is this, to contend with her fate yet has reason to think that her very stars fight against her! I am the luckiest of men l - But my breath almost fails me, when I re?ect upon what a slender thread my destiny hung.
But not to keep thee in suspense; I have, within this half hour, obtained possession of the expected letter from Miss Howe - and by such an accident! But here, with the former, I despatch this; thy messenger waiting.
