ABSTRACT
The next day Lady Stanley’s woman waited on Louisa, to acquaint her with the result of the inquiries which she had been directed to make concerning the young embroiderer: but the only information to be obtained was from Mrs. Mason, her landlady, who appeared unwilling to communicate more to Mrs. Martin than that the young lady was unfortunate. ‘If,’ said she, Miss Fitzormond/ will condescend to pay her a visit, I have no doubt but that she will con de her sorrows to her. I am not unacquainted with the particulars of her life, or present situation; but what I do know was told me in con dence; therefore I cannot impart them to any one without her permission: but it would be doing an act of the truest benevolence to procure her the countenance and sympathy of so good a lady as Miss Fitzormond.’
