Sir Richard Blunt lived long to enjoy the respect and the admiration1 of all who knew him, and died full of years and honours.
The sunshine of the existence of Johanna and Mark was perfectly2 unclouded, and the colonel and Arabella, likewise, presented a true picture of connubial3 felicity. In due time Tobias was married to her whom he loved so well; and as he got older and more used to the world, that timidity of disposition4 that Todd by his cruelties had induced, entirely5 left him.
Ben did not marry after all, and he never ceased to congratulate himself upon his escape. Mr. and Mrs. Oakley were happy in the happiness of Johanna.
The mad-house at Peckham was completely pulled down, and in the well at the back of it was found the skeleton of the wretched victim of Fogg's villany. It was by his own hand that Fogg really died.
Often as Johanna would sit on a winter's evening, with her children climbing upon her knee, she would, with a faltering6 voice, tell them what their dear father had suffered to procure7 for her and for them The String of Pearls.
