And she would have her tell her brother all their conversation when she had the opportunity. “Dear Mrs. Veal,” says Mrs. Bargrave, “it is much better, me- thinks, to do it yourself.” “No,” says Mrs. Veal, “though it seems impertinent to you now, you will see more reasons for it hereafter.” Mrs. Bargrave, then, to satisfy her importunity, was going to fetch a pen and ink, but Mrs. Veal said, “Let it alone row, but do it when I am gone; but you must be sure to do it”; which was one of the last things she enjoined her at parting, and so she promised her.Then Mrs. Veal asked for Mrs. Bargrave`s daughter. She said she was not at home. “But if you have a mind to see her,” says Mrs. Bargrave, “I`ll send for her.” “Do,” says Mrs. Veal; on which she left her, and went to a neighbor`s to see her; and by the time Mrs. Bargrave was returning, Mrs. Veal was without the door in the street, in the face of the beast-market, on a Saturday (which is market-day), and stood ready to part as soon as Mrs. Bargrave came to her. She asked her why she was in such haste.She said she must be going, though perhaps she might not go her journey till Monday; and told Mrs. Bargrave she hoped she should see her again at her cousin Watson`s before she went whither she was going. Then she said she would take her leave of her, and walked from Mrs. Bargrave, in her view, till a turning interrupted the sight of her, which was three-quarters after one in the afternoon.
Received the sacrament
Mrs. Veal died the seventh of September, at twelve o`clock at noon, of her fits, and had not above four hours` senses before her death, in which time she received the sacrament. The next day after Mrs. Veal`s appearance, being Sunday, Mrs. Bargrave was mightily indisposed with a cold and sore throat, that she could not go out that day; but on Monday morning she sends a person to Captain Watson`s to know if Mrs. Veal was there. They wondered at Mrs. Bargrave`s inquiry, and sent her word she was not there, nor was expected. At this answer, Mrs. Bargrave told the maid she had certainly mistook the name or made some blunder.And though she was ill, she put on her hood and went herself to Captain Watson`s, though she knew none of the family, to see if Mrs. Veal was there or not. They said they wondered at her asking, for that she had not been in town; they were sure, if she had, she would have been there. Says Mr. Bargrave, “I am sure she was with me on Saturday almost two hours.” They said it was impossible, for they must have seen her if she had. In comes Captain Watson, while they were in dispute, and said that Mrs. Veal was certainly dead, and the escutcheons were making. This strangely surprised Mrs. Bargrave, when she sent to the person immediately who had the care of them, and found it true.
