It must have been with something of the pleasure which he so earnestly desires in one of the last utterances of his pen "the pleasure of thinking that, in the decline of my health and life, I have conferred a great and lasting Benefit on my Country," that Fielding saw the royal assent given, in the following March, to an Act for the "better preventing Thefts and Robberies and for regulating Places of Public Entertainment, and punishing Persons keeping disorderly Houses."
But we can't lose by looking the town over. Besides, I've never seen a real ghost town." Rick watched the desert go by, his mind busy with the problems.
