I hear that Mrs.Hopkins is interested in religious subjects, and would have been glad to see you in my company.

As I cannot go with her, perhaps Miss Susan Posey will take my place.

I thank you for all the good things you have said to me, and that you have given me so much of your company.

I hope we shall sing hymns together in heaven some time, if we are good enough, but I want to wait for that awhile, for I do not feel quite ready.

I am not going to see you any more alone, reverend sir.
