ABSTRACT

While Emmeline waited the expected arrival of the person to whose care she was now to be consigned, the sister of Mrs. Carey, who was the only relation she had, sent a nephew of her husband’s to take possession of what effects had belonged to her; in doing which, a will was found, in which she bequeathed fifty pounds as a testimony of her tender affection to ‘Miss Emmeline Mowbray, the daughter of her late dear master;’ together with all the contents of a small chest of drawers, which stood in her room. The rest of her property, which consisted of her cloths and about two hundred pounds, which she had saved in service, became her sister’s, and were delivered by Maloney to the young man commissioned to receive them. In the drawers given to her, Emmeline found some fine linen and laces, which had belonged to her mother.
