"Did any clergyman visit him during his illness?"
"No, Sir, no one was with him but my wife, he was mainly fond of her, and she nursed him, and gave him his physic, and didn't leave him, night or day, till he left us all for t'other world."
"I believe, gardener, he was an infidel, and did not believe in the existence of another world."

"Do you know how he felt in the prospect of dying?"
"I heard my wife say it was a dismal scene. She trembled at night when she was left by herself with him."
"Do you know if Mr. Tennent saw him during his illness?"
