Hippolitus struggled with his feelings, and forbore to press farther the suit on which his happiness, and almost his existence, now depended. She desired to retire foe a time to some obscure convent, there to await the issue of the event, which at present involved her in perplexity and for row. ![]() She softened her refusal with a tender grace, that quickly dissipated the jealous doubt arising in the mind of Hippolitus, and encreased his fond admiration of her character. She loved Hippolitus with a steady and tender affection, which was still heightened by the gratitude he claimed as her deliverer but she considered it a prophanation of the memory of that brother who had suffered so much for her sake, to mingle joy with the grief which her uncertainty concerning him occasioned. The sate she dreaded, she now turned from in sorrow and dejection.
