ser. Pamela, said he, and made me tremble, How dare you approach me, without leave, when you see me thus disturbed?--Never, for the future, come near me, when I am in these tumults, unless I send for you. Dear sir! said I--Leave me, interrupted he. I will set out for Bedfordshire this moment! What! sir, said I, without me?--What have I done? You have too meanly, said he, for my wife, stooped to this furious sister of mine; and, till I can recollect, I am not pleased with you: But Colbrand shall attend you, and two other of my servants; and Mrs. Jewkes shall wait upon you part of the way: And I hope you'll find me in a better disposition to receive you there, than I am at parting with you here. Had I not hoped, that this was partly put on to intimidate my lady, I believe I could not have borne it: But it was grievous to me; for I saw he was most sincerely in a passion. I was afraid, said she, he would be angry at you, as well as me; for well do I know his unreasonable violence, when he is moved. But one word, sir, said she; Pardon Pamela, if you won't me; for she has committed no offence, but that of good-nature to me, and at my request.

Oh, dear sir, how can I?--Said my lady, You may go to-morrow, both of you, as you had designed; and I will go away this afternoon: And, since I cannot be forgiven, will try to forget I have a brother. May I, sir, said I, beg all your anger on myself, and to be reconciled to your good sister? Presuming Pamela! replied he, and made me start; Art thou then so hardy, so well able to sustain a displeasure, which of all things, I expected from thy affection, and thy tenderness, thou would'st have wished to avoid?--Now, said he, and took my hand, and, as it were, tossed it from him, begone from my presence, and reflect upon what you have said to me! I was so frightened, (for then I saw he took amiss what I said,) that I took hold of his knees, as he was
