<p>MR. DE COURCY TO LADY SUSAN</p>
<p>—Hotel</p>
<p>I write only to bid you farewell, the spell is removed; I see you as you
are. Since we parted yesterday, I have received from indisputable
authority such a history of you as must bring the most mortifying
conviction of the imposition I have been under, and the absolute necessity
of an immediate and eternal separation from you. You cannot doubt to what
I allude. Langford! Langford! that word will be sufficient. I received my
information in Mr. Johnson's house, from Mrs. Mainwaring herself. You know
how I have loved you; you can intimately judge of my present feelings, but
I am not so weak as to find indulgence in describing them to a woman who
will glory in having excited their anguish, but whose affection they have
never been able to gain.</p>
