Papa, let me help you to take off your greatcoat you are cold will you have a fire? Never had Lily heard Eleanor say so much in a breath, or seen her eye so bright, or her smile so ready, yet, when she entered the drawing- room, she saw that Mrs. Hawkesworth was still the Eleanor of old.
'I really have done justice to Eleanor's sterling goodness, said Lily. 'Now what should you think? 'I can hardly imagine greater proofs of affection than Mrs. Hawkesworth has given you, said Miss Weston, smiling. 'It was because it was her duty, said Lilias. 'You have only heard the facts, but you cannot judge of her ways and looks.

The text of this letter is practically that of the first edition; but I have collated this with the texts given by Hawkesworth, Scott, the first volume of the "Miscellanies" of 1728, and the second volume of the "Miscellanies" of 1745.
'Suddenly, a mighty jerk A mighty mischief did. In the meantime Emily and Jane went on very prosperously at home, looking forward to the return of the rest of the party on Saturday, the 17th of July. In this, however, they were doomed to disappointment, for neither Mr. Mohun nor Mr. Hawkesworth could wind up their affairs so as to return before the 24th.

Common-law judges and civilians would agree that the finder got possession first, and so could keep it as against the shopkeeper.
