Austen Said:

he was employed"—

"There were misunderstandings between them,

there had been misunderstandings

Till yesterday,

he was in the dark as to her plans.

it was the discovery of what she was doing, of this very project of hers, which determined him to come forward at once, own it all to his uncle, throw himself on his kindness, and, in short, put an end to the miserable state of concealment that had been carrying on so long."

he should soon write;

it had been known to no being in the world but their two selves."
