Lady Susan (version 2)

<p>ALICIA. <SPAN name="link2H_4_0033" id="link2H_4_0033"></SPAN></p> <h2> XXXIII </h2> <p>LADY SUSAN TO MRS. JOHNSON</p> <p>Upper Seymour Street.</p> <p>This eclaircissement is rather provoking. How unlucky that you should have been from home! I thought myself sure of you at seven! I am undismayed however. Do not torment yourself with fears on my account; depend on it, I can make my story good with Reginald. Mainwaring is just gone; he brought me the news of his wife's arrival. Silly woman, what does she expect by such manoeuvres? Yet I wish she had stayed quietly at Langford. Reginald will be a little enraged at first, but by to-morrow's dinner, everything will be well again.</p> <p>Adieu!</p> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
