Miss Powis lives!--Restore peace within the walls.--As I hope to be pardon'd for my sins, I have seen, I have spoke to her.--She lives!--Heavenly sound! it should be convey'd to them from above.--She lives! let me again repeat it.--Proclaim the joyful tidings:--but for particulars have patience 'till I return to the man, to the friend my life is bound up in.--I have seen him in every stage. Brightest has he shone, as the taper came nearer to an end.--The rich cordial must be administered one drop at a time.--Observe the caution. Molesworth. LETTER XXXV. Captain Risby to the Honourable George Molesworth. _Barford Abby_. Well, Molesworth,--well--I can go no farther;--yet I _must;--John_, poor faithful _John_, says I _must_;--says he shall be sent back again.--But I have lost the use of my fingers:--my head bobs from side to side like a pendulum. Don't stamp, don't swear: they have a few drops of your cordial more than I intended.--It operates well.--I long to administer a larger potion.--Could you see how I am shifted--now here--now there--by the torrent of joy, that like a deluge almost drives reason before it;--I say, could you see me, you would not wonder at the few unconnected lines of Yours, Risby. LETTER XXXVI. The Honourable GEORGE MOLESWORTH to RICHARD RISBY, Esq; _Dover_. Darcey bears the joyful surprise beyond imagination:--it has brought him from death to life.-- Hear in what manner I proceeded;--You may suppose the hurry in which I left Dover:--I took no leave of my friend;--his humane apothecary promis'd not to quit him in my absence:--I gave orders when his Lordship enquir'd for me, that he should be told particular business of my _own_ had call'd me to town express.--It happen'd very convenient that I left him in a profound sleep. Away I flew,--agitated betwixt _hope_ and _fear_:--harrass'd by fatigue;--not in a bed for three nights before;--nature was almost wore out, when I alighted at the banker's. I accosted one of the clerks, desiring to speak with Mr. or Mrs. Delves [Footnote: The name of the banker.]:--the former not at home, I was immediately conducted to the latter, a genteel woman, about forty.--She receiv'd me politely; but before I could acquaint her with the occasion of my visit, the door open'd, and in stepp'd a pretty sprightly girl, who on seeing me was going to retire.--Do you want any thing, my love? said Mrs. Delves. Only, Madam, she replied, if you think it proper for Miss Warley to get up. Miss Warley! exclaim'd I.--Great God! Miss Warley!--Tell me, Ladies, is Miss Warley _really_ under your roof?--Both at once, for _both_ seem'd equally dispos'd to diffuse happiness, answer'd to my wishes. I threw myself back in my chair:--the surprise was more than I could support.--Shall I tell you all my weakness?--I even shed tears;--yes, Dick, I shed tears:--but they were drops of heart-felt gladness.
