TEN O'CLOCK AT NIGHT
How strong , how prevalent is the passion of jealousy ; and thus it will shew itself uppermost , when it _ is _ uppermost , in spite of one 's most watchful regards ! My mind is so perplexed , that I must lay down my pen : and , indeed , your ladyship will wonder , all things considered , that I could write the above account as I have done , in this cruel suspense , and with such apprehensions . But writing is all the diversion I have , when my mind is oppressed . PAST TEN O'CLOCK AT NIGHT . I have only time to tell your ladyship -LRB- for the postman waits -RRB- that Mr. B. is just come in . He is gone into his closet , and has shut the door , and taken the key on the inside ; so I dare not go to him there . In this uncertainty and suspense , pity and pray for _ your ladyship 's afflicted sister and servant _ , P.B.
