 she
should ever return to be under the Power of her Husband. Lord Fellamar agreed to
go with him, that he might satisfy himself more concerning Jones, and the
Circumstances of the Duel; for he was by no Means easy concerning the Part he
had acted. The Moment his Lordship gave a Hint of his Readiness to assist in the
Delivery of the Lady, it was eagerly embraced by the other Nobleman, who
depended much on the Authority of Lord Fellamar, as he thought it would greatly
contribute to awe Fitzpatrick into a Compliance; and perhaps he was in the
right; for the poor Irishman no sooner saw these noble Peers had undertaken the
Cause of his Wife, than he submitted, and Articles of Separation were soon drawn
up and signed between the Parties.
    Fitzpatrick having been so well satisfied by Mrs. Waters concerning the
Innocence of his Wife with Jones at Upton, or perhaps from some other Reasons,
was now become so indifferent to that Matter, that he spoke highly in Favour of

    When Allworthy returned to his Lodgings, he immediately carried Jones into
his Room, and then acquainted him with the whole Matter, as well what he had
heard from Mrs. Waters, as what he had discovered from Mr. Dowling.
     Jones expressed great Astonishment, and no less Concern at this Account;
but without making any Comment or Observation upon it. And now a Message was
brought from Mr. Blifil, desiring to know if his Uncle was at Leisure, and he
might wait upon him. Allworthy started and turned pale, and then in a more
passionate Tone than, I believe, he had ever used before, bid the Servant tell
Blifil, he knew him
