LETTER XXXV.
MYRA to Mrs. HOLMES.
Your letter is filled with such
ambiguous expressions, that I am utterly at
a loss to discover your meaning.
I HAVE, however, sounded him on the
article of marriage, and the result is---he
loves Harriot most passionately---and on account
of my father's aversion to early marriages,
will marry her privately in a few
days.
THE oftener I read your letter, the more
I am perplexed and astonished: “YOU HAVE
A TALE TO UNFOLD”---For Heaven's sake
shen unfold it, before it be too late---and as
you dread the consequence of keeping it secret,
by disclosing it to me, you will prevent
the mischief, you so much deprecate—I
am all impatience.
Adieu!
