LETTER XXVI. XXVII. XXVIII. From the same.--
A new contrivance to advantage of the lady's intended escape.--A letter
from Tomlinson. Intent of it.--He goes out to give opportunity for the
lady to attempt an escape. His designs frustrated.

LETTER XXIX. From the same.--
An interesting conversation between the lady and him. No concession in
his favour. By his soul, he swears, this dear girl gives the lie to all
their rakish maxims. He has laid all the sex under obligation to him;
and why.

LETTER XXX. Lovelace to Belford.--
Lord M. in extreme danger. The family desire his presence. He
intercepts a severe letter from Miss Howe to her friend. Copy of it.

LETTER XXXI. From the same.--
The lady, suspecting Dorcas, tries to prevail upon him to give her her
liberty. She disclaims vengeance, and affectingly tells him all her
future views. Denied, she once more attempts an escape. Prevented, and
terrified with apprehensions of instant dishonour, she is obliged to make
some concession.

LETTER XXXII. From the same.--
Accuses her of explaining away her concession. Made desperate, he seeks
occasion to quarrel with her. She exerts a spirit which overawes him.
He is ridiculed by the infamous copartnership. Calls to Belford to help
a gay heart to a little of his dismal, on the expected death of Lord M.
