Clarissa Harlowe, Volume 7

A hired room above a shop. Hear Clarissa refuse Lovelace from Covent Garden, refuse Lord M.’s gold, refuse a reconciliation that would make the story neat. Volume 7 of the letters, unabridged: the Smiths, Belford learning how to be of use, Arabella’s hardness, a doctor in a poor street. Listen to a will beginning in the voice before it reaches paper. She will see him if seeing him is the price of being left alone. She will not be his wife.
