prevent a

I promised readily all he asked; and, having finished a slight lunch,
again shook hands with the worthy prelate, jumped into my carriage, and
drove off. I travelled all night; and the next day was in the society

perverseness and folly.

righteous man availeth much, I felt that it was recorded in our favour
in heaven. Mr Somerville gave the bride away. My father, with Talbot
and Clara, were present; and the whole of us, after all my strange
vicissitudes, were deeply affected at this reconciliation and union.
