He then proceeded to open the fountain of that heart, from whence goodness had so long flowed, as from a copious spring.
Halaman 14 - Mr. Savage then imagined his task over, and expected that Sir Richard would call for the reckoning, and return home ; but his expectations deceived him, for Sir Richard told him that he was without money, and that the pamphlet...
