--Her struggles!--O what additional charms, as I now reflect, did her struggles give to every feature, every limb, ofa person so sweetly elegant and lovely! Impossible, my dearest life, till you pronounce my pardon!--Say but youforgive me!--say but you forgive me! I beseech you to be gone! leave me to myself, that I may think what I cando, and what I ought to do. That, my dearest creature, is not enough. You must tell me that I amforgiven; that you will see me to-morrow as if nothing had happen...ed. And then I clasped her again in my arms, hoping she would not forgiveme-- I will--I do forgive you--wretch that you are! Nay, my Clarissa! and is it such a reluctant pardon, mingled with a wordso upbraiding, that I am to be put off with, when you are thus (claspingher close to me) in my power? I do, I do forgive you! Heartily? Yes, heartily! And freely? Freely! And will you look upon me to-morrow as if nothing had passed? Yes, yes! I cannot take these peevish affirmatives, so much like intentionalnegatives!--Say, you will, upon your honour.
