That, disgrace as he is to his name, and to the character of a gentleman,
      the man would not want merit, who, in vindication of the
      dishonoured distincion, should expunge and blot him out of the
      worthy list.

That the injured family has a son, who, however unworthy of such a
      sister, is of a temper vehement, unbridled, fierce; unequal,
      therefore, (as he has once indeed been found,) to a contention
      with this man:  the loss of which son, by a violent death on such
      an occasion, and by a hand so justly hated, would complete the
      misery of the whole family; and who, nevertheless, resolves to
      call him to account, if I do not; his very misbehaviour, perhaps,
      to such a sister, stimulating his perverse heart to do her memory
      the more signal justice; though the attempt might be fatal to
      himself.

Then, Sir, to be a witness, as I am every hour, to the calamity and
      distress of a family to which I am related; every one of whom,
      however averse to an alliance with him while it had not place,
      would no doubt have been soon reconciled to the admirable
      creature, had the man (to whom, for his family and fortunes, it
      was not a disgrace to be allied) done her but common justice!

To see them hang their pensive heads; mope about, shunning one another;
      though formerly never used to meet but to rejoice in each other;
      afflicting themselves with reflections, that the last time they
      respectively saw the dear creature, it was here or there, at such
      a place, in such an attitude; and could they have thought that it
      would have been the last?—­Every one of them reviving instances of
      her excellencies that will for a long time make their very
      blessings a curse to them!

Her closet, her chamber, her cabinet, given up to me to disfurnish, in
      order to answer (now too late obliging!) the legacies bequeathed;
      unable themselves to enter them; and even making use of less
      convenient back stairs, that they may avoid passing by the doors
      of her apartment!

Her parlour locked up; the walks, the retirements, the summer-house in
      which she delighted, and in which she used to pursue her charming
      works; that in particular, from which she went to the fatal
      interview, shunned, or hurried by, or over!

Her perfections, nevertheless, called up to remembrance, and enumerated;
      incidents and graces, unheeded before, or passed over in the group
      of her numberless perfections, now brought back into notice, and
      dwelt upon!
