DeCarabas’s Reviews > Clarissa Harlowe; or the history of a young lady - Volume 5 > Status Update

Bold of Lovelace to act like it's absurd of Clarissa to suspect he set a fire to get at her - "To suppose I should have recourse to such a poor contrivance"! - when he's talking to people who JUST saw him disguise himself to sneak into her rooms! Also he misattributes Dryden's "Oppose not rage" quote to Shakespeare, and that same mistake is all over internet quote sites - I wonder if that mix-up started here.
