xxxiii: Lady Susan to Mrs.Johnson
Upper Seymour Street.
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.
Adieu!
