 | CHAPTER I. Henry Howard, or, Two noes make one yes |  |
[A letter from Mr. Howard, the father of our hero to Miss Lintot.]
Boston, August—184—.
`How can I thank you, my dear daughter — for in anticipation I
give you this name! What a fine triumph for you to have reduced my
son to a treaty to which, I know not from what false and ridiculous
6
solicitude, and in conquering him you have restored to me happiness
and life. I have loved you as a daughter of an old and dear friend; but
now I shall love in you equally my daughter and the tutelar angel of
my son.
I will write you again soon,
Your affectionate friend and father,
Your affectionate friend and father,
E. HOWARD.
