YHE LANDLORD'S VIS(T. abe

Fan. Yo Kendal in Westmoreland, sir, near which
my grandmother was born.

Landl. Ah! ’tis the very same—every circumstance
corresponds! My dear Fanny (taking her hand), you
have found a relation when you httle thought of it. I
cin your kinsman. My mother was a Borrowdale of
Westmoreland, and half-sister to your grandmother.
T have heard of all your parentage; and I remember
the death of your poor father, who was a very honest
ingenious artist ; and of your mother soon after, of a
broken heart. I could never discover what family they
left, nor what had become of my kinswoman. But I
heartily rejoice I have fonnd you out in this extraor-
dinary manner. You must come and live with me.
My wife and daughters will be very glad to receive one
whose conduct has done her so much credit.

Han. I am much obliged to you, sir, for your kind-
ness; but I am too mean a person to live as a relation
in a family like yours.

Landi. Ono! you will not find us of that sort who
despise worthy people for being low in the world; and
your language and actions show that you have been
well brought up.

Fan. My poor grandmother, sir, was so kind as to
give me all the education in her power; and if I have
not somewhat benefited by her example and imstruc-
tions, it must have been my own fault.

Landi. You speak very well, and I feel more attached
to you the more I hear you. Well—you must prepare
to come home with me. I will take care to make
proper ackuowledgments to the good people here, who
have been so kind to you. |

Betty. My dear Fanny, I am heartily glad of your
good fortune, but we shall all be sorry to part with you.

Fan. I am sure, my dear friend and mistress, I shall
be sorry too. You received me when I had no other
friend in the world, and have treated me like your own
child. J can never forget what I owe you.
