Not illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ... then what will be your fate! O Lovelace! if you could be sorry for yourself, I would be sorry too.--But when all my doors are fast, and nothing but the keyhole open, and the key of late put into that, to be where you are, in a manner without opening any of them.--O wretched, wretched Clarissa Harlowe!
