MONDAY NOON
If this be accepted , grant me , Sir , the honour of a visit ; and do me then the inexpressible pleasure of leading me down to the feet of my honoured parents , and they shall find me the most dutiful of children ; and to the arms of my brother and sister , and they shall find me the most obliging and most affectionate of sisters . I wait , Sir , for your answer to this proposal , made with the whole heart of Your dutiful and most obliged niece , CL . HARLOWE . MONDAY NOON . I hope this will be accepted : for Betty tells me , that my uncle Antony and my aunt Hervey are sent for ; and not Mr. Solmes ; which I look upon as a favourable circumstance . With what cheerfulness will I assign over this envied estate ! -- What a much more valuable consideration shall I part with it for !
