Lovelace.

LETTER LVIII. Lady Betty to Clarissa.--
Answers her questions. In the kindest manner offers to mediate between
her nephew and her.

LETTER LIX. LX. Clarissa to Mrs. Hodges,
her uncle Harlowe's housekeeper; with a view of still farther detecting
Lovelace. --- Mrs. Hodges's answer.

LETTER LXI. Clarissa to Lady Betty Lawrance.--
Acquaints her with her nephew's baseness. Charitably wishes his
reformation; but utterly, and from principle, rejects him.

LETTER LXII. Clarissa to Mrs. Norton.--
Is comforted by her kind soothings. Wishes she had been her child. Will
not allow her to come up to her; why. Some account of the people she is
with; and of a worthy woman, Mrs. Lovick, who lodges in the house.
Briefly hints to her the vile usage she has received from Lovelace.

LETTER LXIII. Mrs. Norton to Clarissa.--
Inveighs against Lovelace. Wishes Miss Howe might be induced to refrain
from freedoms that do hurt, and can do no good. Farther piously consoles
her.

LETTER LXIV. Clarissa to Mrs. Norton.--
A new trouble. An angry letter from Miss Howe. The occasion. Her heart
is broken. Shall be uneasy, till she can get her father's curse revoked.
Casts about to whom she can apply for this purpose. At last resolves to
write to her sister to beg her mediation.
