Anne has confessed to me, that she weeps one half of the night: yet forces herself to be lively in company After the example of Miss Byron, she says, when she visited you at Selby-house. I hope, my dear, all will be right. But to go to live with a beloved object I don't understand it. you, Harriet, may. I never was in love, God help me! I am afraid the dear girl does too much for her mother. As they have so handsome an annuity, 400l. a year, so much beyond their expectation; I think she should

Not the least, on that unhappy lady's account Let me say, proceeded he, that Olivia reveres you, and wishes you (I hope cordially, for she is afraid still of your sister-excellence) to be mine.

And I don't grudge Mr. O'Hara; for he is vastly tender of my mother now: which must be a great comfort to her, you know, Sir, now she is come to be sorry for past things, and apt to be very spiritless, when she looks back Poor dear woman!

extensive, and, in many instances, singular; but few of the common people have a perfect knowledge of it; that being confined chiefly to their priests, who are pretty numerous. They do not seem to pay respect to one God as possessing pre-eminence; but believe in a plurality of divinities, who are all very powerful; and, in this case, as different parts of the island, and the other islands in the neighbourhood, have different ones, the inhabitants of each, no doubt, think that they have chosen the most

. My first object was to pay a visit to a man whom my friend represented as a very extraordinary personage indeed, for he said, that he was the god of Bolabola. We found him seated under one of those small awnings, which they usually carry in their larger canoes. He was an elderly man, and had lost the use of his limbs; so that he was carried from place to place upon a hand-barrow. Some called him Olla, or Orra, which is the name of the god of Bolabola; but his own proper name was Etary. From

Just above them, are placed a great number of the pieces of wood; and it was also here, where the maro, and the other bundle, supposed to contain the god Ooro (and which I call the ark), were laid, during the ceremony; a circumstance which denotes its agreement with the altar of other nations.

But, besides these advantages, their neighbours seem to ascribe a great deal to the superiority of their god, who, they believed; detained us at Ulietea by contrary winds, as being unwilling that we should visit an island under his special protection. * These are taken notice of in Hawkesworth's Collection, Vol. ii. p. 256, c. 4 [page] 13
