ABSTRACT
Our philosopher, willing to preserve some shadow of appearances, did not immediately resolve to abandon the poor girl to poverty; but when they had been married a little more than three months, he acquainted her, it was his intention to quit Dublin and repair to Kilkenny: 46 thus hoping by degrees to elude observation, and return to his own country with the fruits he had gathered; leaving the tree of liberty to bud and blossom at its leisure, unaided by his powerful eloquence.
