The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless. Eliza Fowler Haywood

XXIII

       Among other things necessary to be told, gives an account of the success of a plot laid by Mr. Chatfree, for the discovery of Miss Betsy's real sentiments

       VOLUME THE SECOND

       CHAPTER I

       Will satisfy the reader's curiosity in some points, and increase it in others

       CHAPTER II

       Contains some passages which, perhaps, may be looked upon as pretty extraordinary

       CHAPTER III

       Discovers to Miss Betsy a piece of treachery she little expected to hear of

       CHAPTER IV

       Has very little in it, besides a collection of letters, some of which are much to the purpose, others less so

       CHAPTER V

       Serves as a supplement to the former

       CHAPTER VI

       Seems to bring things pretty near a conclusion

       CHAPTER VII

       Is the better for being short

       CHAPTER VIII

       Contains some incidents which will be found equally interesting and entertaining, or the author is very much mistaken

       CHAPTER IX

       Is yet more interesting than the former

       CHAPTER X

       Cannot fail of exciting compassion in some readers, though it may move others to laughter

       CHAPTER XI

       Shews what effects the transactions of the preceding night had on the minds of Miss Betsy and Mr. Trueworth

       CHAPTER XII

       Contains some passages which, it is probable, will afford more pain than pleasure; yet which are very pertinent to the history, and necessary to be related

       CHAPTER XIII

       Is the recital of some accidents, as little possible to be foreseen by the reader as they were by the persons to whom they happened

       CHAPTER XIV

       Gives a full explanation of some passages which hitherto have seemed very dark and mysterious

       CHAPTER XV

       Shews some part of the consequences produced by the foregoing occurrence

       CHAPTER XVI

       Is a kind of olio, a mixture of many things, all of them very much to the purpose, though less entertaining than some others

       CHAPTER XVII

       Contains only such things as the reader might reasonably expect to have been informed of before

       CHAPTER XVIII

       Is of very small importance, yet contains such things as the reader may expect to hear

       CHAPTER XIX

       Is multum in parvo

       CHAPTER XX

       Shews Miss Betsy left entirely to her own management, and the cause of it, with some other particulars

       CHAPTER XXI

       The author is under some apprehensions, will not be quite pleasing to the humour of every reader

       CHAPTER XXII

       Gives an account of a farther and more laudable motive to induce Mr. Trueworth to put off his intended journey into the country

       CHAPTER XXIII

       Returns to Miss Betsy's adventures, from which the two former were but a digression, though a very necessary one, as will hereafter appear
