Thefe emotions, perhaps he might lo n liavvj overcame had they been met by vulgar olence or reproach ; but the quiet and upbraiding luriOvvl of Lou i fa, nourifhed thole fee lings ol tendernefs and at tachment She never men tioned her vvrongN in morels ; fottietimes a fe w itai g tears would peak them ; jiui vhen ti ne had given her a hnle more cotttpolu e, her lute uis Courted melancholy muttr.

Her brooks atid her muhc were her only pleafures ; if pleafures they could be called, that ferved but to alleviate mifcrv, and to blunt for a while, the pangs ot contrition. Thefe were deeply ara vated ly the recollecliou of her father; a father left in his age to feel his own misfortunes and liis daughter's disgrace, sir d ward was too generous not to think ot providing tor Venoni.
