I have this note now at eleven o'clock:

"MY DEAREST PAMELA,

"I dispatch the messenger, lest, expecting me this night, you should

be uneasy. I shall not be with you till Monday, when I hope to dine

with my dearest life. _Ever affectionately yours_."

So I'll go up and pray for him, and then to bed.--Yet 'tis a sad

thing!--I have had but poor rest for a great while; nor shall have

any till my fate is decided.--Hard-hearted man, he knows under what

uneasiness he left me!
