“In struggling with misfortunes
Lies the proof of virtue,”—Shakspeare.
The turbulence1 of grief, and the agitation2 of suspense3, gradually lessened4 in the mind of Amanda, and were succeeded by a soft and pleasing melancholy5, which sprang from the consciousness of having always, to the best of her abilities, performed the duties imposed upon her, and supported her misfortunes with placid6 resignation. She loved to think on her father, for amidst her sighs for his loss were mingled7 the delightful8 ideas of having ever been a source of comfort to him, and she believed, if departed spirits were allowed to review this world, his would look down upon her with delight and approbation9 at beholding10 her undeviating in the path he had marked out for her to take. The calm derived11 from such meditations12 she considered as a recompense for many sorrows; it was such, indeed, as nothing earthly gives, or can destroy, and what the good must experience, though “amidst the wreck13 of matter and the crush of worlds.”
She tried to prevent her thoughts from wandering to Lord Mortimer, as the surest means of retaining her composure, which fled whenever she reflected on the doubtful balance in which her fate yet hung concerning him.
