Now, sirrah, I had taken the maidenhead of two of themnow, as I was lifting up the third to my mouth, there came, Hold him, hold him!

Is it not shame, he that should punish sin, Defend the righteous, help the innocent, Carves with his sword the purpose of his will Upon the guarders of the virtuous, And hunts admired, spotless maidenhead With all the darts of desolation, Because she scorneth to be dissolute?

She would have infinitely preferred the villa near Maidenhead for the place of her occupation, had it not been for the fact that in London she was nearer John Saltram, and that any moment of any day might bring him to her side.

But he died at Stubbings, his place near Maidenhead beside the silver Thames, on the 10th of November 1808.

My maidenhead to yours.
