Within the temple, devious walking, made
To wander by their melancholy minds.”

“Some fluctuating notions concerning repentance, virtue, honor, morality ... hovered around Lady Dellwyn’s thoughts but were too wavering to bring her to any fixed determination. She became a constant attendant from one public place to another, where she met with many mortifications.

—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
