to   severe    fits  of   melancholy�察     �and   while    he   remained     at   New´York 

frequently retired to the church´yard�察�where he would weep over the grave�察�

dear   little   charge   and   her   nurse�察  �set   forward   for   England。   It   would   be 

impossible to do justice to the meeting scene between him�察�his Lucy�察�and 

her    aged    father。   Every     heart   of   sensibility    can   easily    conceive     their 

feelings。 After the first tumult of grief was subsided�察�Mrs。 Temple gave up 

the chief of her time to her grand´child�察�and as she grew up and improved�察�

began to almost fancy she again possessed her Charlotte。 

     It   was   about   ten   years   after   these   painful   events�察  �that   Mr。   and   Mrs。 

Temple�察  �having   buried   their   father�察  �were   obliged   to   come   to   London   on 

particular business�察�and brought the little Lucy with them。 They had been 

walking   one   evening�察  �when   on   their   return   they   found          a   poor   wretch 

sitting on the steps of the door。 She attempted to rise as they approached�察�

but from extreme weakness was unable�察�and after several fruitless efforts 

fell   back   in   a   fit。   Mr。   Temple   was   not   one   of   those   men   who   stand   to 

consider      whether      by   assisting     an   object    in   distress    they   shall    not 

inconvenience themselves�察�but instigated by the impulse of a noble feeling 

heart�察  �immediately   ordered   her   to   be   carried   into   the   house�察  �and   proper 

restoratives applied。 

     She soon recovered�察�and fixing her eyes on Mrs。 Temple�察�cried;You 

know not�察�Madam�察�what you do�察�you know not whom you are relieving�察�or 

you   would   curse   me   in   the   bitterness   of   your   heart。   Come   not   near   me�察�

Madam�察�I shall contaminate you。 I am the viper that stung your peace。 I 

am the woman who turned the poor Charlotte out to perish in the street。 

Heaven have mercy� �I see her now�察─�continued she looking at Lucy�察 �such�察�

such was the fair bud of innocence that my vile arts blasted ere it was half 

blown。 ; 

     It was in vain that Mr。 and Mrs。 Temple intreated her to be composed 

and to   take   some   refreshment。  She   only  drank half   a   glass of   wine�察  �and 

then told them that she had been separated from her husband seven years�察�

the    chief   of  which     she   had   passed    in   riot�察 �dissipation�察   �and    vice�察 �till�察�

overtaken   by   poverty   and   sickness�察  �she   had   been   reduced   to   part   with 

every  valuable�察  �and   thought   only  of   ending   her   life  in   a   prison�察  �when   a 

benevolent   friend   paid   her   debts   and   released   her�察  �but   that   her   illness 

encreasing�察  �she      had    no  possible   means      of   supporting     herself�察  �and    her 

friends were weary of relieving her。 ;I have fasted�察─�said she�察 �two days�察�

and last night lay my aching head on the cold pavement�此�indeed it was but 

just that I should experience those miseries myself which I had unfeelingly 

inflicted on others。; 

     Greatly as Mr。 Temple had reason to detest Mrs。 Crayton�察�he could not 

behold   her   in   this   distress   without   some   emotions   of   pity。   He   gave   her 

shelter   that   night   beneath   his   hospitable   roof�察  �and   the   next   day   got   her 

admission into an hospital�察�where having lingered a few weeks�察�she died�察�a 

striking   example   that   vice�察  �however   prosperous   in   the   beginning�察  �in   the 

end leads only to misery and shame。
