Clarissa.

LETTER IV. Joseph Leman. In answer.

LETTER V. Lovelace to Belford.--
In ecstasy on the success of his contrivances. Well as he loves
Clarissa, he would show her no mercy, if he thought she preferred any man
living to him. Will religiously observe the INJUNCTIONS she laid upon
him previous to their meeting.

LETTER VI. Clarissa to Miss Howe.--
A recriminating conversation between her and Lovelace. He reminds her of
her injunctions; and, instead of beseeching her to dispense with them,
promises a sacred regard to them. It is not, therefore, in her power, she
tells Miss Howe, to take her advice as to speedy marriage. [A note on
the place, justifying her conduct.] Is attended by Mrs. Greme, Lord M.'s
housekeeper at The Lawn, who waits on her to her sister Sorlings, with
whom she consents to lodge. His looks offend her. Has written to her
sister for her clothes.

LETTER VII. Lovelace to Belford.--
Gives briefly the particulars of his success. Describes her person and
dress on her first meeting him. Extravagant exultation. Makes Belford
question him on the honour of his designs by her: and answers doubtfully.

LETTER VIII. Miss Howe to Clarissa.--
Her sentiments on her narrative. Her mother, at the instigation of
Antony Harlowe, forbids their correspondence. Mr. Hickman's zeal to
serve them in it. What her family now pretend, if she had not left them.
How they took her supposed projected flight. Offers her money and
