The first plan that had suggested itself to me was, to go to the nearest public road, and take the earliest stage for London. There I believed I should be most safe from discovery, if the vengeance1 of Mr. Falkland should prompt him to pursue me; and I did not doubt, among the multiplied resources of the metropolis2, to find something which should suggest to me an eligible3 mode of disposing of my person and industry. I reserved Mr. Forester in my arrangement, as a last resource, not to be called forth4 unless for immediate5 protection from the hand of persecution6 and power. I was destitute7 of that experience of the world, which can alone render us fertile in resources, or enable us to institute a just comparison between the resources that offer themselves. I was like the fascinated animal, that is seized with the most terrible apprehensions9, at the same time that he is incapable10 of adequately considering for his own safety.
The mode of my proceeding11 being digested, I traced, with a cheerful heart, the unfrequented path it was now necessary for me to pursue. The night was gloomy, and it drizzled12 with rain. But these were circumstances I had scarcely the power to perceive; all was sunshine and joy within me. I hardly felt the ground; I repeated to myself a thousand times, “I am free. What concern have I with danger and alarm? I feel that I am free; I feel that I will continue so. What power is able to hold in chains a mind
