The greatest injury could not have oppressed the heart of Le Fever more than my uncle Toby’s paternal kindness;⸺he parted from my uncle Toby , as the best of sons from the best of fathers⸺both dropped tears⸺and as my uncle Toby gave him his last kiss, he slipped sixty guineas, tied up in an old purse of his father’s, in which was his mother’s ring, into his hand,⸺and bid God bless him.
