'Madam, I have learned of no wandering harper: your ladyship means mistress Amanda's Welsh song! shall I call her? said Dorothy, disappointed. 'I mean thee, and thy song, thou green linnet! rejoined lady Margaret. 'What song was it of which I said to thee that the singer deserved, for his very song's sake, that whereof he made his moan?

There came the rustle of Amanda's skirts on the stairs. Fairchilds clasped Tillie's passive hand.
Caelia related to Sempronius all that had passed between her and Chloe; and by her continued cheerfulness of behaviour, the peace and tranquillity of the family was perfectly restored, and their joy greatly increased by Amanda's ready consent to the marriage of Sempronius and Caelia, having first settled all her fortune to be divided at her death equally between her nieces; and in her lifetime there was no occasion of settlements, or deeds of gift, for they lived all together, and separate property was not so much as mentioned or thought on in this family of harmony and peace.
