he others, I blessed God for my past
escapes, and present happiness; and the good woman was quite affected
with the zeal and pleasure with which I made my thankful acknowledgments
to the divine goodness. O my excellent lady! said she, you are still the
same good, pious, humble soul I knew you; and your marriage has added to
your graces, as I hope it will to your blessings.

Dear Mrs. Jervis, said I, you know not what I have gone through! You
know not what God has done for me! You know not what a happy creature I
am now! I have a thousand thousand things to tell you; and a whole week
will be too little, every moment of it spent in relating to you what
has befallen me, to make you acquainted with it all. We shall be sweetly

present happiness I owe to the sheets of paper, and pens and ink, you
furnished me with. I hope my dear sir and you are quite reconciled.--O,
madam, said he, how good you are! Why, I cannot contain myself for joy!
and then he wiped his eyes; good man!

Said my master, Yes, I have been telling Longman that I am obliged to
him for his ready return to me; and that I will entirely forget his
appeal to Lady Davers; and I hope he'll find himself quite as easy and
happy as he wishes. My dear partner here, Mr. Longman, I dare promise
you, will do all she can to make you so.--Heaven bless you both
