Therefore, when he appeared in person, Tom and Ned were prepared to like him. They were not disappointed.,"She won't have you.",They had now to dread the effect of that tender anxiety, which had excited his resentment; and Julia, suddenly elated to joy by his first determination, was as suddenly sunk to despair by his last. She trembled with apprehension of the coming interview, though each moment of delay which her fear solicited, would, by heightening the resentment of the Abate, only increase the danger she dreaded.,Jerry laughed and said, “There’ll be a lot worse than this before we’re through, I’m afraid.
