I agree   Written by Lizzy A (3/8/2007 12:27 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Faulkland, penned by Emmeline
Are you new?

I was glad when she let him go. It's obvious she knows him well, as she says:

I now see it is not in your nature to be content, or confident in love.

She has his character down pat. She knows him much better than he knows her - much better than he even knows himself.

She is a better & more sensible person than he is. She realizes that in his present mind, they could never be happy together and therefore releases him. Her parting shot was superb:

All I request of you is, that you will yourself reflect upon this infrimity, and when you number up the many true delights it has deprived you of - let it not be your least regret, that it los you the love of one - who would have followed you in beggary through the world!
