(6.) "Mr. Franklin Blake agrees to Miss Clack's proposal, on the
understanding that she will kindly consider this intimation of his
consent as closing the correspondence between them."
(7.) "Miss Clack feels it an act of Christian duty (before the
correspondence closes) to inform Mr. Franklin Blake that his last
letter--evidently intended to offend her--has not succeeded in
accomplishing the object of the writer. She affectionately requests Mr.
Blake to retire to the privacy of his own room, and to consider with
himself whether the training which can thus elevate a poor weak woman
above the reach of insult, be not worthy of greater admiration than he
is now disposed to feel for it. On being favoured with an intimation to
that effect, Miss C. solemnly pledges herself to send back the complete
series of her Extracts to Mr. Franklin Blake."
[To this letter no answer was received. Comment is needless.
