ABSTRACT
IT was about a month after the last conversation before Mrs. Woodfield had completely succeeded in placing the two young people, Fanny Bennison and her brother, in situations much more fortunate than she had even hoped to meet with. The young man, whose health was established by the advice of an excellent physician whom Mrs. Woodfield had engaged to attend him, was received as secretary, by a gentleman who was going to Italy on a voyage of pleasure and instruction, and who wanted an intelligent person to accompany and write for him. Fanny was taken by a lady advanced in years to read to her, and attend on her; and Mrs. Woodfield had very soon the pleasure of hearing that both the brother and sister acquitted themselves so much to the satisfaction of the two friends to whom she had recommended them, that they seemed to have found protectors for the rest of their lives.
