PLATE 23
Mr. Lambkin writes a letter of humiliation—The Lady answers—He seeks an interview.—It is granted.—He "hopes she'll forgive him this time"—The Lady appears resolute—He earnestly entreats her to "make it up"—At length the Lady softens—She lays aside her "cruel" work—ah! She weeps! Silly little thing what does she cry for?—Mr. Lambkin is forgiven! He skips for joy! Pa and Ma give their consent.
