I say agin, I want you, Sir Pitt said, thumping the table. I cant git on without you. I didnt see what it was till you went away. The house all goes wrong. Its not the same place. All my accounts has got muddled agin. You must come back. Do come back. Dear Becky, do come. Comeas what, sir? Rebecca gasped out.

Youre as good a lady as ever I see. Youve got more brains in your little vinger than any baronets wife in the county. Will you come? Yes or no? Oh, Sir Pitt! Rebecca said, very much moved.

Look year! and the old man fell down on his knees and leered at her like a satyr. Rebecca started back a picture of consternation. In the course of this history we have never seen her lose her presence of mind; but she did now, and wept some of the most genuine tears that ever fell from her eyes. Oh, Sir Pitt! she said. Oh, sirIIm married already. |
