Ipassed a week in this manner, and settled the plan of my future life conformably to it. I determined to convert the 600l. Mr. Senwill had so generously given me into an annuity; to settle in some cheap part of England, where I should be known only by my future conduct; and there to live in the exercise of Christian duties, to repent of my own sins, pray for him who had been a partner in them, and to endeavour, by all the means in my power, to contribute to the present ease and future felicity of all on whom I could have any influence.

The money I had by me, and the produce of some things which I intended to sell, as foreign to the purpose of my future life, the presents which the vanity of Mr. Monkerton, or the fondness of Mr. Senwill, had made me, I designed should maintain me, while I was seeking out for a proper place for my abode, and purchase me what conveniences I might want there: For this purpose it was more than sufficient, and would, in all probability, allow me a small sum to keep by me in case of exigence.

I had made no secret of my intention to my maid, tho’ I did not intend to take her with me, as I would not have one about me who had my reputation in her power.

As I was at a loss for a place to fix on, and knew no good means of enquiring, I thought I would take advantage of the offer Mr. Senwill's friend had made me, and ask his assistance in the choice of one; and, perhaps, I was not sorry that Mr. Senwill should know a resolution, which I imagined would give him pleasure.
