recounts to her friend Helen what a

what dresses she will wear and what
equipages she VIII have. Sir Clifford
overhearing the conversation believes
she is about 70 marry him for his
money and spulns her. Her injured
pride at being gifted so infurlates her
that she signs a compact to marry the
Earl of Rochadales that she may be Of
higher rank than the lover that has SO
injured her By a trick of Master Wal

Clifford has lost his estates and hear
