Thank thee, Jack; most heartily I thank thee, for the sober conclusion of thy last! -- I have a good mind, for the sake of it, to forgive thy till now absolutely unpardonable extracts.
Thank thee, Jack; most heartily I thank thee, for the sober conclusion of thy last! -- I have a good mind, for the sake of it, to forgive thy till now absolutely unpardonable extracts.
But dost think I will lose such an angel, such a forgiving angel, as this? -- By my soul, I will not! -- To pray for mercy for such an ungrateful miscreant! -- how she wounds me, how she cuts me to the soul, by her exalted generosity! -- But she must have mercy upon me first! -- then will she teach me a reliance for the sake of which her prayer for me will be answered.
