The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Lady Susan by Jane Austen: dear mother, for the worst! The probability of their marrying is surely
heightened! He is more securely hers than ever. When that wretched event
takes place, Frederica must belong wholly to us. I am thankful that my last
letter will precede this by so little, as every moment that you can be
saved from feeling a joy which leads only to disappointment is of
consequence.
Yours ever, &c.,
CATHERINE VERNON.
