"Oh! I always deserve the best treatment because I never put up with any other; and therefore you must give me a plain direct answer. Are you quite sure that you understand the terms on which Mr. Martin and Harriet now are?" "I am quite sure" he replied speaking very distinctly "that he told me she had accepted him; and that there was no obscurity nothing doubtful in the words he used; and I think I can give you a proof that it must be so. He asked my opinion as to what he was now to do. He knew of no one but Mrs. Goddard to whom he could apply for information of her relations or friends. Could I mention any thing more fit to be done than to go to Mrs. Goddard? I assured him that I could not. Then he said he would endeavour to see her in the course of this day."
