He prevails upon Emilia to accompany him to a Masquerade, makes a treacherous1 Attempt upon her Affection, and meets with a deserved Repulse2.
Scarce a night elapsed in which he did not conduct her to some public entertainment. When, by the dint3 of his insidious4 carriage, he thought himself in full possession of her confidence and affection, he lay in wait for an opportunity; and, hearing her observe in conversation, that she had never been at a masquerade, begged leave to attend her to the next ball; at the same time extending his invitation to the young lady in whose company he had found her at the play, she being present when this subject of discourse6 was introduced. He had flattered himself, that this gentlewoman would decline the proposal, as she was a person seemingly of a demure7 disposition8, who had been born and bred in the city, where such diversions are looked upon as scenes of lewdness9 and debauchery. For once, however, he reckoned without his host; curiosity is as prevalent in the city as at the court end of the town. Emilia no sooner signified her assent10 to his proposal, than her friend, with an air of satisfaction, agreed to make one of the party; and he was obliged to thank her for that complaisance11, which laid him under infinite mortification12. He set his genius at work to invent some scheme for preventing her unseasonable intrusion. Had an opportunity offered, he would have acted as her physician, and administered a medicine that would have laid her under the necessity of staying at home. But his acquaintance with her being too slight to furnish him with the means of executing this expedient13, he devised another, which was practised with all imaginable success. Understanding that her grandmother had left her a sum of money independent of her parents, he conveyed a letter to her mother, intimating, that her daughter, on pretence14 of going to the masquerade, intended to bestow15 herself in marriage to a certain person, and that in a few days she would be informed of the circumstances of the whole intrigue16, provided she would keep this information secret, and contrive17 some excuse for detaining the young lady at home, without giving her cause to believe she was apprised18 of her intention. This billet, subscribed19 “Your well-wisher, and unknown humble20 servant,” had the desired effect upon the careful matron, who, on the ball day, feigned21 herself so extremely ill, that Miss could not with any decency22 quit her mamma’s apartment; and therefore sent her apology to Emilia in the afternoon, immediately after the arrival of Peregrine, who pretended to be very much afflicted24 with the disappointment, while his heart throbbed25 with a transport of joy.
About ten o’clock the lovers set out for the Haymarket, he being dressed in the habit of Pantaloon, and she in that of Columbine; and they had scarce entered the house when the music struck up, the curtain was withdrawn26, and the whole scene displayed at once, to the admiration27 of Emilia, whose expectation was infinitely28 surpassed by this exhibition. Our gallant29 having conducted her through all the different apartments, and described the economy of the place, led her into the circle, and, in their turn, they danced several minuets; then going to the sideboard, he prevailed upon her to eat some sweetmeats and drink a glass of champagne30. After a second review of the company, they engaged in country dances, at which exercise they continued until our adventurer concluded that his partner’s blood was sufficiently31 warm for the prosecution32 of his design. On this supposition, which was built upon her declaring that she was thirsty and fatigued33, he persuaded her to take a little refreshment35 and repose36; and, for that purpose, handed her downstairs into the eating-room, where, having seated her on the floor, he presented her with a glass of wine and water; and, as she complained of being faint, enriched the draught37 with some drops of a certain elixir38, which he recommended as a most excellent restorative, though it was no other than a stimulating39 tincture, which he had treacherously40 provided for the occasion. Having swallowed this potion, by which her spirits were manifestly exhilarated, she ate a slice of ham, with the wing of a cold pullet, and concluded the meal with a glass of burgundy, which she drank at the earnest entreaty41 of her admirer. These extraordinary cordials co-operating with the ferment42 of her blood, which was heated by violent motion, could not fail to affect the constitution of a delicate young creature, who was naturally sprightly43 and volatile44. Her eyes began to sparkle with unusual fire and vivacity45, a thousand brilliant sallies of wit escaped her, and every mask that accosted46 her underwent some smarting repartee47.
Peregrine, overjoyed at the success of his administration, proposed that they should resume their places at the country dances, with a view to promote and assist the efficacy of his elixir; and, when he thought her disposition was properly adapted for the theme, began to ply48 her with all the elocution of love. In order to elevate his own spirits to that pitch of resolution which his scheme required, he drank two whole bottles of burgundy, which inflamed49 his passion to such a degree, that he found himself capable of undertaking50 and perpetrating any scheme for the gratification of his desire.
Emilia, warmed by so many concurring51 incentives52, in favour of the man she loved, abated53 considerably54 of her wonted reserve, listened to his protestations with undissembled pleasure, and, in the confidence of her satisfaction, even owned him absolute master of her affections. Ravished with this confession55, he now deemed himself on the brink56 of reaping the delicious fruits of his art and assiduity; and the morning being already pretty far advanced, assented57 with rapture58 to the first proposal she made of retiring to her lodgings59. The blinds of the chariot being pulled up, he took advantage of the favourable60 situation of her thoughts; and, on pretence of being whimsical, in consequence of the wine he had swallowed, clasped her in his arms, and imprinted61 a thousand kisses on her pouting62 lips, a freedom which she pardoned as the privilege of intoxication63. While he thus indulged himself with impunity64, the carriage halted, and Pipes opening the door, his master handed her into the passage, before she perceived that it was not her uncle’s house at which they had alighted.
Alarmed at this discovery, she, with some confusion, desired to know his reason for conducting her to a strange place at these hours. But he made no reply, until he had led her into an apartment, when he gave her to understand, that, as her uncle’s family must be disturbed by her going thither65 so late in the night, and the streets near Temple-bar were infested66 by a multitude of robbers and cut-throats, he had ordered his coachman to halt at this house, which was kept by a relation of his, a mighty67 good sort of a gentlewoman, who would be proud of an opportunity to accommodate a person for whom he was known to entertain such tenderness and esteem68.
Emilia had too much penetration69 to be imposed upon by this plausible70 pretext71. In spite of her partiality for Peregrine, which had never been inflamed to such a pitch of complacency before, she comprehended his whole plan in a twinkling. Though her blood boiled with indignation, she thanked him with an affected72 air of serenity73 for his kind concern, and expressed her obligation to his cousin; but, at the same time, insisted upon going home, lest her absence should terrify her uncle and aunt, who, she knew, would not retire to rest till her return.
He urged her, with a thousand remonstrances74, to consult her own ease and safety, promising75 to send Pipes into the city, for the satisfaction of her relations. But, finding her obstinately76 deaf to his entreaties77, he assured her, that he would, in a few minutes, comply with her request; and, in the meantime, begged she would fortify78 herself against the cold with a cordial, which he poured out in her presence, and which, now that her suspicion was aroused, she refused to taste, notwithstanding all his importunities. He then fell on his knees before her, and the tears gushing79 from his eyes, swore that his passion was wound up to such a pitch of impatience80, that he could no longer live upon the unsubstantial food of expectation; and that, if she would not vouchsafe81 to crown his happiness, he would forthwith sacrifice himself to her disdain82. Such an abrupt83 address, accompanied with all the symptoms of frantic84 agitation85, could not fail to perplex and affright the gentle Emilia, who, after some recollection, replied with a resolute86 tone, that she could not see what reason he had to complain of her reserve, which she was not at liberty to lay entirely87 aside, until he should have avowed88 his intentions in form, and obtained the sanction of those whom it was her duty to obey. “Divine creature!” cried he, seizing her hand, and pressing it to his lips, “it is from you alone I hope for that condescension89, which would overwhelm me with the transports of celestial90 bliss91. The sentiments of parents are sordid92, silly, and confined. I mean not then to subject my passion to such low restrictions93 as were calculated for the purposes of common life. My love is too delicate and refined to wear those vulgar fetters94, which serve only to destroy the merit of voluntary affection, and to upbraid95 a man incessantly96 with the articles of compulsion, under which he lies. My dear angel! spare me the mortification of being compelled to love you, and reign97 sole empress of my heart and fortune. I will not affront98 you so much as to talk of settlements; my all is at your disposal. In this pocket-book are notes to the amount of two thousand pounds; do me the pleasure to accept of them; to-morrow I will lay ten thousand more in your lap. In a word, you shall be mistress of my whole estate, and I shall think myself happy in living dependent on your bounty99! ”
Heavens! what were the emotions of the virtuous100, the sensible, the delicate, the tender Emilia’s heart, when she heard this insolent101 declaration from the mouth of a man whom she had honoured with her affection and esteem! It was not simply horror, grief, or indignation, that she felt, in consequence of this unworthy treatment, but the united pangs102 of all together, which produced a sort of hysteric laughter, while she told him that she could not help admiring his generosity103.
Deceived by this convulsion, and the ironical104 compliment that attended it, the lover thought he had already made great progress in his operations, and that it was now his business to storm the fort by a vigorous assault, that he might spare her the confusion of yielding without resistance. Possessed105 by this vain suggestion, he started up, and, folding her in his arms, began to obey the furious dictates106 of his unruly and ungenerous desire. With an air of cool determination, she demanded a parley107; and when, upon her repeated request, he granted it, addressed herself to him in these words, while her eyes gleamed with all the dignity of the most awful resentment:—
“Sir, I scorn to upbraid you with a repetition of your former vows108 and protestations, nor will I recapitulate109 the little arts you have practised to ensnare my heart; because, though by dint of the most perfidious110 dissimulation111 you have found means to deceive my opinion, your utmost efforts have never been able to lull112 the vigilance of my conduct, or to engage my affection beyond the power of discarding you without a tear, whenever my honour should demand such a sacrifice. Sir, you are unworthy of my concern or regret, and the sigh that now struggles from my breast is the result of sorrow, for my own want of discernment. As for your present attempt upon my chastity, I despise your power, as I detest113 your intention. Though, under the mask of the most delicate respect, you have decoyed me from the immediate23 protection of my friends, and contrived114 other impious stratagems115 to ruin my peace and reputation, I confide5 too much in my own innocence116, and the authority of the law, to admit one thought of fear, much less to sink under the horror of this shocking situation, into which I have been seduced117. Sir, your behaviour on this occasion is, in all respects, low and contemptible118. For, ruffian as you are, you durst not harbour the thought of executing your execrable scheme, while you knew my brother was near enough to prevent or revenge the insult; so that you must not only be a treacherous villain119, but also a most despicable coward.”
Having expressed herself in this manner, with a most majestic120 severity of aspect, she opened the door, and walking down-stairs with surprising resolution, committed herself to the care of a watchman, who accommodated her with a hackney-chair, in which she was safely conveyed to her uncle’s house.
Meanwhile, the lover was so confounded and overawed by these cutting reproaches, and her animated121 behaviour, that all his resolution forsook122 him, and he found himself not only incapable123 of obstructing124 her retreat, but even of uttering one syllable125 to deprecate her wrath126, or extenuate127 the guilt128 of his own conduct. The nature of his disappointment, and the keen remorse129 that seized him, when he reflected upon the dishonourable footing on which his character stood with Emilia, raised such perturbation in his mind, that his silence was succeeded by a violent fit of distraction130, during which he raved131 like a bedlamite, and acted a thousand extravagancies, which convinced the people of the house, a certain bagnio, that he had actually lost his wits. Pipes, with great concern, adopted the same opinion; and, being assisted by the waiters, hindered him, by main force, from running out and pursuing the fair fugitive132, whom, in his delirium133, he alternately cursed and commended with horrid134 imprecations and lavish135 applause. His faithful valet, having waited two whole hours, in hopes of seeing this gust136 of passion overblown, and perceiving that the paroxysm seemed rather to increase, very prudently137 sent for a physician of his master’s acquaintance, who, having considered the circumstances and symptoms of the disorder138, directed that he should be plentifully139 blooded, without loss of time, and prescribed a draught to compose the tumult140 of his spirits. These orders being punctually performed, he grew more calm and tractable141, recovered his reflection so far as to be ashamed of the ecstasy142 he had undergone, and suffered himself quietly to be undressed and put to bed, where the fatigue34 occasioned by his exercise at the masquerade co-operated with the present dissipation of his spirits to lull him into a profound sleep, which greatly tended to the preservation143 of his intellects. Not that he found himself in a state of perfect tranquility when he waked about noon. The remembrance of what had passed overwhelmed him with mortification. Emilia’s invectives still sounded in his ears. And, while he deeply resented her disdain, he could not help admiring her spirit, and his heart did homage144 to her charms.
