Yes, it is determined upon. Juliet sets off the day after
tomorrow; and as there is a charming opportunity for
me to return, in a private carriage here, I shall go tomorrow.
I will pass you by the post office, at three. But
we must not be long together; and our manner must be
that of acquaintances only. You understand me. I

want to tell you about this Molton. I have seen him. I
could'nt resist the impulse; and, before he rang, I placed
myself in the middle of the front parlour, with the windows
darkened, and the door ajar—so that I could see
him, when he entered the hall. His step was firm, and
haughty I thought,—but he wore a large blue cloak; and
I could not get a good view of his face or person. He was
with Juliet for about half an hour; and, when I entered,
I found her in tears, I told her that I had seen him.
I am sorry for it, said she, for he knows your opinion of
him; and his countenance looked troubled, while he was
here. Nay—he confessed that he expected you to enter
the room. It was well that you did not, I believe; for, I
thought that I heard you step—and never shall I forget
his countenance. It was terrible. You passed near the
door. You paused. He threw off his cloak—and turned
deliberately toward it, like one that was preparing
for some fearful act of retribution. You have wronged
him, Sarah; but I would not put myself in his way, if I
were you.

Yes, Randolph—I have made up my mind. I shall depart
tomorrow; and, if it be possible, I will see Molton,
face to face, before I depart. I have an unaccountable,
burning anxiety to see a man, who is capable of desolating
such a heart as Juliet's: but then, there is little hope
of it. He will not probably come again, without being
sent for; and I dare not ask Juliet to send for him.
