Sparks CLARISSA HARLOWE or the HISTORY OF A YOUNG LADY Nine Volumes Volume IV. CONTENTS OF VOLUME IV LETTER I. Clarissa to Miss Howe.-- Likes her lodgings; but not greatly the widow. Chides Miss Howe for her rash, though friendly vow. Catalogue of good books she finds in her closet. Utterly dissatisfied with him for giving out to the women below that they were privately married. Has a strong debate with him on this subject. He offers matrimony to her, but in such a manner that she could not close with his offer. Her caution as to doors, windows, and seals of letters. LETTER II. Miss Howe to Clarissa.-- Her expedient to correspond with each other every day. Is glad she had thoughts of marrying him had he repeated his offer. Wonders he did not. LETTER III. Clarissa to Miss Howe.-- Breakfasts with him and the widow, and her two nieces. Observations upon their behaviour and looks. He makes a merit of leaving her, and hopes, ON HIS RETURN, that she will name his happy day. She is willing to make the best constructions in his favour. In his next letter (extracts from which are only given) he triumphs on the points he has carried. Stimulated by the women, he resumes his resolution to try her to the utmost. LETTER IV. Clarissa to Miss Howe.-- Lovelace returns the next day. She thinks herself meanly treated, and is angry.
