 the greatest Rogues in it to Justice. There
was a Circumstance which much pleased the Doctor, and made him conclude that,
however Robinson had been corrupted by his old Master, he had naturally a good
Disposition. This was, that Robinson declared he was chiefly induced to the
Discovery by what had happened at the Pawnbroker's, and by the Miseries which he
there perceived he had been instrumental in bringing on Booth and his Family.
    The next Day Booth and his Wife, at the Doctor's Instance, din'd with
Colonel James and his Lady, where they were receiv'd with great Civility, and
all Matters were accommodated, without Booth ever knowing a Syllable of the

    The Doctor insisted very strongly on having Miss Harris taken into Custody,
and said, if she was his Sister, he would deliver her to Justice. He added

Orders were obey'd punctually, and with these she was oblig'd to comply.

arriv'd to take her up, the Messenger of which return'd with the News of her
Flight, highly to the Satisfaction of Amelia, and consequently of Booth, and
indeed not greatly to the Grief of the Doctor.
    About a Week afterwards Booth and Amelia, with their Children, and Captain
Atkinson and his Lady, all
