 The faithful and "true" Charles has a transcendent deathbed experience (much like Charles Dickens's Little Nell in "The Old Curiosity Shop" (1840–1)), suggesting that he was saved; by contrast, the heedless and disobedient Augusta, who plays with candles, burns up and is presumably damned.Parts II and III have a similar structure; an overarching narrative of the Fairchild family is interspersed with inset moral tales.Both are noticeably less evangelical than Part I.
