Two Years more pass’d on; towards the latter of which the old Lady _Fairlaw_ took her Bed, desperately sick, insomuch that she was given over by all her Physicians; she continu’d in great Misery for near two Months; in all which Time _Philadelphia_ was constantly with her all the Day, or all the Night; much about that Time she dy’d; and, dying, told her Husband, that she had observ’d he had a particular Esteem or Kindness for _Philadelphia_; which was now a great Satisfaction to her; since she was assur’d, that if he marry’d her, she would prove an excellent Nurse to him, and prolong his Life by some Years. As for _Eugenia_, (added she) you need not be concern’d; I’m sure she will consent to any Thing that you shall propose, having already so plentifully provided for her. The good old Gentleman answer’d, that he would fulfil her Will as far as lay in his Power: And not long after, she departed this Life. Her Burial was very handsome and honourable. Half a Year was now expir’d since her Interment, when the old Counsellor began to plead his own Cause to young _Philadelphia_, reminding her that now the Death of _Gracelove_ was out of Question; and that therefore she was as much at her Liberty to make her own Choice of an Husband as he was of a Wife; not forgetting, at the same Time, to let her know, that his Widow, (whoever had the good Fortune to be so) would be worth above thirty thousand Pounds in ready Money, besides a thousand a Year.

And the next Sunday marry’d they were, with the Consent, and to the perfect Satisfaction of, his Daughter, Madam _Eugenia_; who lov’d _Philadelphia_ sincerely. They kept their Wedding very nobly for a Month, at their own House in _Great Lincolns-Inn-Fields_; but the Memory of the old Lady was still so fresh with the young Lady _Fairlaw_, that she prevail’d with him to remove to another, more convenient as she fancy’d, in _Covent-Garden_. They had dwelt there not much more than four Months, e’re the good old Gentleman fell sick and dy’d. Whether it were the Change of an old House for a new, or an old Wife for a young, is yet uncertain, tho’ his Physicians said, and are still of Opinion, that, doubtless, it was the last. ’Tis past all Doubt, that she did really mourn for and lament his Death; for she lov’d him perfectly, and pay’d him all the dutiful respect of a virtuous Wife, while she liv’d within that State with him; which he rewarded as I have said before. His Funeral was very sumptuous and honourable indeed! and as soon as it was over, _Eugenia_ desir’d her
