ABSTRACT
Louisa received no injury from the accident, except that occasioned by terror; from which she was soon restored by the person in the chaise11 which had caused her alarm, who instantly leaped out, and ew to rescue the ladies from their perilous situation: he bore Louisa in his arms, and seating her in his carriage, returned to her companion, who lay without any appearance of life. e stranger having placed her by the side of Louisa, applied himself to staunch the blood which owed profusely from a large wound in her temple. Having succeeded,/ he endeavoured with Louisa’s assistance to restore her senses; but without e ect, till the motion of the carriage (which the stranger had ordered to proceed to the nearest place likely to a ord assistance), by causing the most excruciating pain, awoke her to a sense of her misfortune. Uttering a deep groan, she opened her eyes, and, xing them for a moment on Louisa, (who, with a look of the utmost pity for her su erings, was trying to alleviate them), she again closed them with a sigh of mental anguish, apparently more hard to bear than that which was occasioned by her wound.
