[underline]at once[end underline]!, she very kindly said
"I will speak to Mr. Parkes about it"
May He who can move the hearts of Princes incline our senators

Her ladyship told Christina that she "could not
teach her now[underlined], I look upon you as a polluted thing,
you have been so naughty, no, naughty is [underline] too
mild [end underline] a term, you have been desperatly [desperately] wicked, why, if you had lived in former
times, you would have been stoned[underlined] to death!
for such wickedness," &c &c. Its to be hoped
this severe reprimand has done Christina good,
she asked Mr. Roberts at eve'g prayers if we might
sing "In evil long I took delight,
Unaw'd by shame or fear,
Till a new object struck my sight,
And stopp'd my wild career,".
