Sinópse: Excerpt from Harden Hall, or the Three Proposals, Vol. 3: A Novel Miss Selby as a successful rival: for, pre posterons as was the idea, she entertained se rions thoughts of being herself the countess. Mr. Hawkins soon discovered this, and work ing upon that feeling, without apparently knowing that it existed, by dexterously throwing out hints that Miss Selby was not exactly fit to be the wife of Lord Sandford, he impressed Miss Rabbit with such an idea of his wisdom, that he could persuade her to act in everything according to his wishes. Ever since they had quitted Harden Hall, she had endeavoured to inspire Lady Sandford with disgust at her son’s choice, continually reminding her that Miss Selby was no heiress. This was the only objection she could make to the connexion; for Miss Selby’s family was quite as good as the illus trions house of Sandford, and the young lady herself allowed by all to be faultless.
