ABSTRACT
A few days a er the meeting of Walter Stanley and Louisa, as Fitzormond was sitting with them, and conversing of past events, in which the character of Mr. Melford formed a part of their conversation; a letter was brought him, which proved to be from Mrs. Melford. Having read it, Fitzormond presented it to his daughter, saying, ‘ at unhappy man can no longer be an object to us, my love, of anxiety or dislike: pity for his vices should now predominate over every other feeling: he is gone where his actions will meet the reward due to them. And it is our duty, as/ beings subject, by the frailties of our nature, to err as he has done, to forgive him from our hearts, and pray that he may obtain the forgiveness of Him to whom he must now render a strict account of his deeds.’
