, and probably done with a View to some other Design upon her.
These Reflections, join'd to his new awak'd Suspicions, that he was in Love with her, convinc'd him he was the Author of their present Mis-understanding; and that he had impos'd some new Fallacy upon Arabella, in order to promote a Quarrel between them.
Fir'd almost to Madness at this Thought, he stamp'd about his Room, vowing Revenge upon Sir George, execrating Romances, and cursing his own Stupidity for not discovering Sir George was his Rival, and knowing his plotting Talent, not providing against his Artifices.
His first Resolutions were to set out immediately for Sir George's Seat, and force him to confess the Part he had acted against him: But a

Mr. Glanville then wrote a short Billet to Arabella, expressing his Grief for her Displeasure, his Departure in Obedience to her Orders, and his Resolution not to appear in her Presence,

till he could give her convincing Proofs of his Innocence.
This Letter he sent by Roberts, which Arabella condescended to read, but would return no Answer.
Mr. Glanville then mounting his Horse,
