ABSTRACT
One evening Ormond walked with sir Herbert Annaly to the sea-shore, to look at the lighthouse which was building. He was struck with all that had been done here in the course of a few months, and especially with the alteration in the appearance of the people. Their countenances had changed from the look of desponding idleness and cunning, to the air of busy, hopeful independence. He could not help congratulating sir Herbert, and warmly expressing a wish that he might himself in the whole course of his life do half as much good as sir Herbert had already effected.
