Clarissa Harlowe; or, The History of a Young Lady - Volume 6

by Samuel Richardson

A few words to the verbal information thou sentest me last night concerning thy poor old man; and then I rise from my seat, shake myself, refresh, new-dress, and so to my charmer, whom, notwithstanding her reserves, I hope to prevail upon to walk out with me on the Heath this warm and fine morning.

Reviews

[Nicole · Rating 2 out of 5]

I would have given it one star since the majority of the volume is as repetitive as usual, but the last 10-15% was a little more interesting than usual. Clarissa takes some big chances in this one, and much of Mr. Lovelace's scheming comes to light.
