—— Hotel
I write only to bid you farewell, the spell is removed; I see you as you are. Since we parted yesterday, I have received from indisputable authority such a history of you as must bring the most mortifying1 conviction of the imposition I have been under, and the absolute necessity of an immediate2 and eternal separation from you. You cannot doubt to what I allude3. Langford! Langford! that word will be sufficient. I received my information in Mr. Johnson’s house, from Mrs. Mainwaring herself. You know how I have loved you; you can intimately judge of my present feelings, but I am not so weak as to find indulgence in describing them to a woman who will glory in having excited their anguish4, but whose affection they have never been able to gain.
R. De Courcy.
