My dear, be a good man - be virtuous - be religious - be a good man. Nothing else will give you any comfort when you come to lie here," - He paused, and I said - "Shall I send (!) Sophia and Anne?" - "No," said he, "don't disturb them. Pooor souls!

It was a beautiful day - so warm, that every window was wide open - (B) and so peaceful still, that the sound of all others most delicious to his ear, the gentle ripple of the Tweed over its pebbles, was distinctly audible as we knelt around the bed, and his eldest son kissed and closed his eyes.                 - J.G.
