BOOK THE FIRST

"A woman who has once deceived those she holds dear, will not fail to do so a second time.

The fairest promises are forgotten when the danger is past." "Mr.Wyvil, if you have a particle of regard for me, you will instantly leave the house," said Amabel, turning to him.
"If had my own way, he should leave it through the window," said Mrs.
Bloundel; "and if he tarries a minute longer, I will give the alarm." "You hear this, sir," cried Amabel:--"go, I entreat you." "I yield to circumstance, Amabel," replied Wyvil; "but think not I resign you.

Come what will, and however I may be foiled, I will not desist till I make you mine." "I tremble to hear him," cried Mrs.Bloundel, "and could not have believed such depravity existed.

Quit the house, sir, directly, or I will have you turned out of it." "Do not remain another moment," implored Amabel.

"Do not, do not!" "Since I have no other way of proving my love, I must perforce obey," returned Wyvil, trying to snatch her hand and press it to his lips; but she withdrew it, and clung more closely to her mother.
