15/20 Do not disappoint the sanguine hope I have entertained! "I have left some legacies. My former connections, while I lived amidst the busy haunts of men, as many of them as were intimate, are all of them dear to me. I have not had time to summon them about me upon the present occasion, nor did I desire it. The remembrances of me will, I hope, answer a better purpose than such as are usually thought of on similar occasions." Mr.Clare, having thus unburthened his mind, spoke no more for several hours. Towards morning Mr.Falkland quietly withdrew the curtain, and looked at the dying man. |
