At noon I ran hastily home to inform my mother, knowing that she would rejoice with me over my recovered treasure. After ***sympathizing*** with me in my childish happiness, she remarked that Sir Mathew Hale had said that he never passed the Sabbath well without being prospered the succeeding week.
