In 1763, Lady Barbara gained a pension of £300, which floated the household finances sufficiently, and Sarah did not write for a couple of years. But with Lady Barbara's death in 1765 and with the encouragement and insistence of her sister, Sarah again began writing. "The History of Sir George Ellison" was published in 1766. This sequel to "Millenium Hall" portrays the eponymous narrator's "charitable deeds" inspired by his visit to Millennium Hall. His actions include "institutreforms on his plantations in Jamaica and devis[ing schemes to relieve the poor in England, employing aged laborers on the grounds of his house, initiating a fund for the release of prisoners, and paying for the educations of females of different ranks." Again, the novel was utopian, but it also contained elements of the "patriot kings" that Sarah wrote about in her political writings.
