Finally, Anna figures out that her letters have been
intercepted. She's totally shocked at Clarissa's horrible fate and tells her to
nail that sucker in court.
Uh-oh, Lovelace is in trouble. His aunt and cousin are not
too pleased that they were impersonated by prostitutes, and the story is starting
to get out.
Plus, the cousins pay him a visit to really bawl him out.
Still, he L-O-V-E-S Clarissa. Like, he really wants to marry her now.
Clarissa is trying to relate the whole gruesome story to
Anna via letter, but she keeps getting sick. She can barely write at this
point.
After reading the whole story, Anna writes back. But
Clarissa's vanished again!
Unfortunately, Clarissa's prostitute companions from Mrs.
Sinclair's place have come back to bug her.
They have her arrested as she walks out of church one
morning.
Apparently, Clarissa owes them money. That's a big fat lie,
but we'll bet Dorcas started getting a little greedy.
Belford to the rescue! After Lovelace finds out, he sends
his buddy over to take care of the sitch.
