Indeed, sir, it was said that I did this woman grievous harm, and the parish rose up in her defence, and, what is more, set her up as a model of injured innocence. I could only protest my innocence, and pray what chance is there for innocence against the voice of calumny? "Then this was the penalty of your bachelorhood?
"Well, I will not speak about it just yet, and certainly not to Phillis. Lie here till I see if Titia is still in the nursery. It is just five o'clock." Yes, there the little damsel was, sitting as prim as possible over a book, looking the picture of industry and innocence. "Miss Bennett has left for the day, has she not, Titia?
