Such leading articles, and such spirited attacks! 'Our worthless contemporary, the GAZETTE' 'That disgraceful and dastardly journal, the INDEPENDENT' 'That false and scurrilous print, the INDEPENDENT' 'That vile and slanderous calumniator, the GAZETTE; these, and other spirit-stirring denunciations, were strewn plentifully over the columns of each, in every number, and excited feelings of the most intense delight and indignation in the bosoms of the townspeople.

This man is to me a cipher; the other will always be my old friend.
One of her friends having some years before suffered a miscarriage, was subsequently attacked with violent headaches, and Catherine was charged with having administered poison to her friend.
