Bountiful (Lady), widow of sir Charles Bountiful. Her delight was curing the parish sick and relieving the indigent.

"My lady Bountiful is one of the best of women.

Her late husband, sir Charles Bountiful, left her

with £1000 a year; and I believe she lays out

one-half on't in charitable uses for the good of

her neighbors. In short, she has cured more

people in and about Lichfield within ten years

than the doctors have killed in twenty; and that's

a bold word."—George Farquhar,
