with you on your avoiding
me so unkindly, yet cannot I have patience to look upon that bed in
which I was born, and to be made the guilty scene of your wickedness
with such a----

Hush! said he, I charge you! call not the dear girl by any name unworthy
of her. You know not, as I told you, her excellence; and I desire you'll
not repeat the freedoms you have taken below.

She stamped with her foot, and said, God give me patience! So much
contempt to a sister that loves you so well; and so much tenderness to a
vile----

He put his hand before her mouth: Be silent, said he, once more, I
charge you! You know not the innocence you abuse so freely. I ought not,
neither will I bear it.

She sat down and fanned herself, and burst into tears, and such sobs
of grief, or rather passion, that grieved me to hear; and I sat and
trembled sadly.

He walked about the room in great anger; and at last said, Let me ask
you, Lady Davers, why I am thus insolently to be called to account
by you? Am I not independent? Am I not of age? Am I not at liberty to
please myself?--Would to God, that, instead of a woman, and my sister,
any man breathing had dared, whatever were his relation under that of
a father, to give himself half the airs you have done!--Why did you not
send on this accursed errand your lord, who could write me such a letter
as no gentleman should write, nor any gentleman tamely receive? He
should have seen the difference.

We all know, said she, that, since your Italian duel, you have commenced
a bravo; and all your airs breathe as strongly of the manslayer as of
the libertine. This, said he, I will bear; for I have no reason to
be ashamed of that duel, nor the cause of it; since it was to save a
friend, and because it is levelled at myself only: but suffer not your
tongue to take too great a liberty with my Pamela.

She interrupted him in a violent burst of passion. If I bear this, said
she, I can bear any thing!--O the little strumpet!--He interrupted her
then, and said wrathfully, Begone, rageful woman! begone this moment
from my presence! Leave my house this instant!--I renounce you, and
all relation to you! and never more let me see your face, or call me
brother! And took her by the hand to lead her out. She laid hold of the
curtains of the window, and said, I will not go! You shall not force me
from you thus ignominiously in the wretch's hearing, and suffer her to
triumph over me in your barbarous treatment of me.
