[No. This story also is "Invented Example." But it
is founded on facts. It is a pleasure to me, writing
fifty-four years after the commission intrusted to me by
the late Mrs. Fales, to say that that is a real name, and
that her benevolence at a distance is precisely
represented here.
Perhaps the large history of the world would be
differently written but for that kindness of hers.
I was a very young clergyman, and the remittance she
made to me was the first trust of the same kind which had
ever been confided to me.]
