Sir _William_, added she, seeing him leave her in haste.

Never were three Persons better pleas'd for a Time than this unnatural
Man, his sweet innocent Sister, and the Lady _Beldam_; upon his return
to _Philadelphia_, who could not rest that Night, for thinking on the
Happiness she was going to enjoy in the Conversation of so virtuous a
Lady as her Brother's Acquaintance, to whom she was in Hopes that she
might discover her dearest Thoughts, and complain of Sir _William's_

After they had eaten and drank what they thought Convenient, the
reverend old Lady led 'em out of the Parlour to shew 'em the House,
every Room of which they found answerably furnish'd to that whence they
came. At last she led 'em into a very pleasant Chamber, richly hung, and
curiously adorn'd with the Pictures of several beautiful young Ladies,
wherein there was a Bed which might have been worthy the Reception of a
Dutchess: This, Madam, (said she) is your Apartment, with the
