ABSTRACT

Montgomery having seen Ethelinde depart with Sir Edward, her brother and his wife, stayed to direct what was immediately necessary in regard to the remains of his deceased friend; and having acquitted himself of this melancholy duty, he retired, overcome with grief for the present, and sorrowful presages of the future, to his own little apartment; which he would immediately have discharged, in order to remove himself nearer to any place where Ethelinde might for the present remain, but he had no means of paying even for the little time he had been there, till he received another supply of money from his mother.
