engagements, which he by no means wished to break, though he declared
himself extremely willing to quit the army. They accordingly procured
his discharge, and presenting him with a sum of money for immediate use,
he set out for the south of France, where he proposed to fix his
residence, whilst Harland and Louise continued their way toward England,
where the society of her friends soon obliterated the painful
remembrance of an unworthy parent.
Old Thomas, at his earnest solicitation, still continued with Sir Henry;
who, feeling himself indebted to that faithful servant for the
restoration of his fortune, would have made him independent: but no
consideration could induce him to accept of any reward which should
separate him from his master; with whom he begged he might pass the
remainder of his days. Sir Henry yielded to his wish; and by every
indulgence strove to requite the services he had rendered him.
Sir Henry, satisfied with his own conduct, could look back on every
action without regret, and to each succeeding day with confidence and
pleasure. Revered by his dependants, and esteemed by all who knew him,
he experienced the true delight of a benevolent heart; whilst in the
affection of Eliza and his children, and the warm attachment of his
friends, he found a recompence for the sorrows he had formerly known.
