The great Mrs.Churchill was no more.
It was felt as such things must be felt.

Every body had a degree of gravity and sorrow; tenderness towards the departed, solicitude for the surviving friends; and, in a reasonable time, curiosity to know where she would be buried.

Goldsmith tells us, that when lovely woman stoops to folly, she has nothing to do but to die; and when she stoops to be disagreeable, it is equally to be recommended as a clearer of ill-fame.
Mrs.Churchill, after being disliked at least twenty-five years, was now spoken of with compassionate allowances.

In one point she was fully justified.

She had never been admitted before to be seriously ill.
