Not the last time of my Lord G----'s, but of mine--But I will not allow
you now to answer me lightly. If you can name a day before Tuesday, you
will greatly oblige me. I will leave you to consider of it. And he
withdrew.
Every one then urged her to oblige her brother. Lady L---- very
particularly. She told her, that he was entitled to her compliance; and
that he had spoken to her on this subject in a still more earnest manner.
She should hardly be able to excuse her, she said, if the serious hint he
had given about settling his affairs before he went abroad, had not
weight with her. You know, Charlotte, continued she, that he can have no
motive but your good; and you have told me, that you intend to have Lord
G----; and that you esteem his father, his aunt, and every one of his
family, whom you have seen; and they are all highly pleased with you.
Settlements are already drawn: that my brother told you last night.
Nothing is wanting but your day.
