Page 162 - I did nothing but dream of robbers, rescues, and murders : such an impression had the distresses of this young lady made on my mind. They made me a poor report, proceeded she, of the night she had passed. And, as I told you, she fainted away this morning, a little before you came, on her endeavouring to give me some account of her affecting story.

Page 219 - Sir Charles Grandison, my brother " (and when she looks proud, it is when she says my brother)^ " is not to be misled either by false glory or false shame, which he calls the great snares of virtue.
Page 383 - She was asked, if she would see her children again ? No, she said : but bid her last blessing be repeated to them, and her charge, of loving one another, in the words of our Saviour, as she had loved us ; and when the chaplain came to read a text which she had imperfectly pointed to, but so as to be understood, she repeated, in faltering accents, but with more strength of voice than she had had for an hour before, " I have fought a good fight ; I have finished my course ; I have kept the faith —...
