Summary
It’s like a broken clock she cannot set aright, somehow both too fast and too slow; or the draft from a carelessly opened door that she cannot place, sighing its sobering chill into even the gayest of parlours. And it is at its strongest, perhaps, whenever she chances to hear Miss Fairfax play.

Summary
And this night, I know not upon what ground, the gates of the City [were] ordered to be all shut, and double guards everywhere, and we are going upon making of all ships coming from thence and Hambrough, or any other infected places, to perform their Quarantine (for thirty days as Sir Rd.
