ABSTRACT

Dr. Homily had been so much delighted with his English visitors, that his engagement to the unfortunate Letitia almost escaped his memory, and / even the consciousness of his own woes had been considerably suspended. He was however, after their departure, just mounting his horse, for his journey, when deacon Liptrap and Mawworm the pedagogue rode up to the house, and said, they were sent from Cranberry Hall to accompany and expedite his visit. Dr. Homily related the occurrence which had detained him, and spoke of the great pleasure of meeting with two of his countrymen.
