While Jemima was lighting the bed-candle at the lamp, Ruth came round to bid good night.

Mr Bradshaw could not allow her to remain till the morrow, uncertain whether he was satisfied or not.
"Good night, Mrs Denbigh," said he.

"Good night.

Thank you.

I am obliged to you--I am exceedingly obliged to you." He laid emphasis on these words, for he was pleased to see Mr Farquhar step forward to help Jemima in her little office.
Mr Farquhar offered to accompany Ruth home; but the streets that intervened between Mr Bradshaw's and the Chapel-house were so quiet that he desisted, when he learnt from Ruth's manner how much she disliked his proposal.
