Nothing should prevail on him to give up his engagement. He would stand to it, cost him what it might."

he loved nobody but Lucy, and nobody but Lucy would he have.

it seemed to him as if, now he had no fortune, and no nothing at all, it would be quite unkind to keep her on to the engagement, because it must be for her loss, for he had nothing but two thousand pounds, and no hope of any thing else; and if he was to go into orders, as he had some thoughts, he could get nothing but a curacy, and how was they to live upon that?

if she had the least mind for it, to put an end to the matter directly, and leave him shift for himself.
