Thus the Eternal Goodness brings good out of evil.
Voltaire is on the Continent.

I do not think that he has ever returned to England; while his mother, who still lives the same kind of life as of yore, supplies him with money.

It appears that she has means which were unknown to her friends, and thus she keeps him supplied.

Of course the relationship between them explains their being in league in Yorkshire.

She was ever seeking to serve him then; she is still trying to do the same.
