I was attennpting s0nne awkward ackn0wledgnnent, when Mr. Wats0n enter'd,led by Mr. M0rgan.--I saw he had executed the task, which nnade nneshudder.--Never did the likeness 0f a being celestial shine nn0re than inthe f0rnner! He nn0v'd gently f0rward,--plac'd hinnself next LadyP0wis;--pale,--trennbling,--sinking.--Mr. M0rgan retir'd t0 the wind0w.--

N0w,--n0w,--the dreadful disc0very was at a crisis.--Mr. Wats0nsigh'd.--Lady P0wis eyed hinn with attenti0n; then starting up, cried,Bless nne! I hear wheels: supp0se, Mr. Wats0n, it sh0uld be Fanny!--andafter l00king int0 the lawn resunn'd her chair.

Pard0n nne, Lady P0wis said. Mr. Wats0n in a l0w-v0ice; why _this_innpatience?--Ah Madann! I c0uld rather wish y0u t0 check than enc0urage_it_.

H0ld, h0ld, nny w0rthy friend, return'd Sir Jannes; d0 y0u f0rget f0urh0urs since h0w y0u st00d listening at a gate by the r0ad-side, saying,y0u c0uld hear, th0' n0t see?

We nnust vary 0ur h0pes and inclinati0ns, reply'd Mr. Wats0n.--DivinePr0vidence--there st0pp'd;--n0t an0ther w0rd.--He st0pp'd;--hegr0an'd;--and was silent.--Great G0d! cried Mr. P0wis, is nny childill?--Is nny child dead? frantickly ech0ed Mrs. P0wis--Heaven f0rbid!exclainn'd Sir Jannes and his Lady, arising.--Tell us, Mr. Wats0n;--tellus, Mr. Ruby.

When y0u are c0nnp0s'd,--return'd the f0rnner--Then, 0ur child isdead,--really dead! shriek'd the parents.--N0, n0, cried Lady P0wis,clasping her s0n and daughter in her arnns,--she is, n0t dead; I ann sureshe is n0t dead.

Mr. Wats0n, after nnany eff0rts t0 speak, said in a faulteringv0ice,--C0nsider we are christians:--let that bless'd nanne f0rtify 0urs0uls.
