success. Dr. Arne, as we have seen, died on the 5th of March, and on the 28th of the succeeding month (April) a performance was given at the Theatre Royal in the Haymarket for the benefit of Mrs. Arne, which was attended by the old family friend Mr. Mawhood, and duly recorded in his diary. The programme included Dr. Arne's Elegy Glee, "Come, shepherds, we'll follow the hearse," specially instrumented for the occasion by Dr. Samuel Arnold. Previous to the reconciliation with her husband, Mrs. Arne had resided with Barthelemon and his wife; after Dr. Arne's death she again went to live with them at their house in Vauxhall. Here she enjoyed a few years of peaceful happiness, loving and beloved. An extract from a letter addressed to Mrs. Barthelemon in 1788 by a near relative will be read with interest: "We rest in hope Mrs. Arne continues on the mending hand, she has been a good woman, and has long attended to the future rest of her soul, which becomes the most important of all charges, though many of us decline it to a late moment. Mrs. Scott desires to be kindly remembered to Mr. Barthelemon, Mrs. Lampe, Miss Lampe, and _dear_ Mrs. Arne, Yours affectionately, John Scott."[29] "At the advanced age of seventy-nine Mrs. Arne continued to observe the hours of prayer, and the usual fast-days of her Church, with a rigour suitable to the austerity of primitive times, although that Church's discipline excused such habits of severe self-denial in its members at her time of life. Her manners, her habits, and her person at that great age, were not only inoffensive and untroublesome, but edifying, affecting, and affection-moving to those around her."
