and then
_Constance_ said, Did you ne'er dream of your Sister, Sir? Yes, often,
Brother, (return'd _Miles_) but then most particularly, before e'er I
heard the first Call of the Voice; when (my Thought) I saw her in Tears
by my Bed Side, kneeling with a Gentleman, whom I thought I had once
seen; but knew him not then, tho', now I recal my Dream, the Face was
exactly yours. 'Twas I, indeed, Sir, (return'd _Lewis_) who bore her
Company, with Tears, at your Father's Bed-Side; and at twelve a Clock at
Night your Father dy'd. But come, Sir, (persu'd he) 'tis now near twelve
a Clock, and there is Company waits for you at Home, at my House here in

_Miles_, and given him Bills on his Banker for the Payment of ten
