LETTER XI. XII. Lovelace to Belford.--
Once more is the charmer of his soul in her old lodgings. Brief account
of the horrid imposture. Steels his heart by revengeful recollections.
Her agonizing apprehensions. Temporary distraction. Is ready to fall
into fits. But all her distress, all her prayers, her innocence, her
virtue, cannot save her from the most villanous outrage.

LETTER XIII. Belford to Lovelace.--
Vehemently inveighs against him. Grieves for the lady. Is now convinced
that there must be a world after this to do justice to injured merit.
Beseeches him, if he be a man, and not a devil, to do all the poor
justice now in his power.

LETTER XIV. Lovelace to Belford.--
Regrets that he ever attempted her. Aims at extenuation. Does he not
see that he has journeyed on to this stage, with one determined point in
view from the first? She is at present stupified, he says.

LETTER XV. From the same.--
The lady's affecting behaviour in her delirium. He owns that art has
been used to her. Begins to feel remorse.

LETTER XVI. From the same.--
The lady writes upon scraps of paper, which she tears, and throws under
the table. Copies of ten of these rambling papers; and of a letter to

the people at Hampstead to the infamous woman's in town. The lady seems
to be recovering.

LETTER XVII. From the same.--
She attempts to get away in his absence. Is prevented by the odious
Sinclair. He exults in the hope of looking her into confusion when he
sees her. Is told by Dorcas that she is coming into the dining-room to
find him out.

LETTER XVIII. From the same.--
A high scene of her exalted, and of his depressed, behaviour. Offers to
make her amends by matrimony. She treats his offer with contempt.
Afraid Belford plays him false.

LETTER XIX. From the same.--
Wishes he had never seen her. With all the women he had known till now,
it was once subdued, and always subdued. His miserable dejection. His
remorse. She attempts to escape. A mob raised. His quick invention to
pacify it. Out of conceit with himself and his contrivances.

LETTER XX. XXI. Lovelace to Belford.--
Lord M. very ill. His presence necessary at M. Hall. Puts Dorcas upon
ingratiating herself with her lady.--He re-urges marriage to her. She
absolutely, fr
