I believe he watched his moment. The passions, Louisa, however disturbed, are always cunning. He demanded a promise, solemn and irrevocable, to be his. Such a promise, I answered, was unnecessary; and, if at all, could only be given conditionally- There were no conditions to which he was not ready to subscribe- I replied, too much readiness denoted too little reflection; and not fortitude sufficient to fulfil such conditions.
