He continued,--You will go in _with me_, Sir.--How am I to act!--I'll follow your advice--We must expect it will be a dreadful piece of work.-- Caution and tenderness, Mr. Morgan, will be absolutely necessary. But where is my hat?--where is my wig?--have I thrown them into the pond? It is well the poor distress'd man recollected he had them not; or, bare-headed as he was, I should have gone with him to the house.--I pick'd them up, all over dirt; and, well as I could, clean'd them with my handkerchief. Now, Sir, said I, if you will wipe your face,--for the sweat was standing on it in large drops,--I am ready to attend you. So I must _really_ go in, captain.--I don't think I can stand it;--you had better go without me.--Upon my soul, I had sooner face the mouth of a cannon--If you would blow my brains out, it would be the kindest thing you ever did in your life. Poh! don't talk at this rate, Sir.--Do we live only for ourselves?-- But _will_ you not leave us, captain;--_will_ you not run from us, when all is out? Rather, Sir, suspect me of cowardice.--I should receive greater satisfaction from administering the smallest consolation to people in distress, than from whole nations govern'd by my nod. Well, captain, I _will_ go;--I _will_ do any thing you desire me, since you are so good to say you will not leave us. But, notwithstanding his fair promise, I never expected to get him within the doors.--He was shifting from side to side:--sometimes he would stand still,--sometimes attempt to retreat.--When we were just at the house, a servant appear'd:--of whom he enquir'd, if Mr. and Mrs. Powis were return'd; and was inform'd the latter was within;--the former gone out in pursuit of us. We likewise found the Ladies were with Sir James in the library. I sent in my name: it was in vain for me to expect any introduction from my companion. Mrs. Powis flew to meet me at the door:--Mr. Morgan lifted up his eyes, and shook his head.--I never was so put to it:--I knew not what to say; or how to look.--Welcome, Mr. Risby, said the amiable, unfortunate, unsuspecting mother;--doubly welcome at this happy juncture.--Let me lead you to parents, introducing me to Sir James and Lady Powis, from whom I have receiv'd all my felicity. You need not be told my reception:--it is sufficient that you know Sir James and her Ladyship.--My eyes instantly turn'd on the venerable chaplin: I thought I never discover'd so much of the angel in a human form. Mrs. Powis ask'd me a thousand questions;--except answering _them_, I sat stupidly silent.--It was not so with Mr. Morgan: he walk'd, or rather ran up and down;--his eyes fix'd on the floor,--his lips in motion.--The Ladies spoke to him: he did not answer; and I could perceive them look on each other with surprize.
