What was she so angry with her father about?--Mr. Cranstoun was at our

came in August, 1750, and stayed there till near Christmas. It was not
agreeable to my master. We used to think by his temper that he did not
approve of his being so much with his daughter, but I do not believe

Did you ever hear him say anything to her of his having been once like

did till three o'clock. She went to bed about one. She said to me,
