_Isabella’s_ dead Mother had left Jewels, of the value of 2000_l._ to her Daughter, at her Decease, which Jewels were in the possession, now, of the Lady _Abbess_, and were upon Sale, to be added to the Revenue of the _Monastery_; and as _Isabella_ was the most Prudent of her Sex, at least, had hitherto been so esteem’d, she was intrusted with all that was in possession of the Lady _Abbess_, and ’twas not difficult to make her self Mistress of all her own Jewels; as also, some 3 or 400_l._ in Gold, that was hoarded up in her Ladyship’s Cabinet, against any Accidents that might arrive to the _Monastery_; these _Isabella_ also made her own, and put up with the Jewels; and having acquainted _Henault_, with the Day and Hour of her Escape, he got together what he could, and waiting for her, with his Coach, one Night, when no body was awake but her self, when rising softly, as she us’d to do, in the Night, to her Devotion, she stole so dexterously out of the _Monastery_, as no body knew any thing of it; she carry’d away the Keys with her, after having lock’d all the Doors, for she was intrusted often with all. She found _Henault_ waiting in his Coach, and trusted none but an honest Coachman that lov’d him; he receiv’d her with all the Transports of a truly ravish’d Lover, and she was infinitely charm’d with the new Pleasure of his Embraces and Kisses.
