Bless me! Madam! how can you say so?--To be sure, I should sing to great advantage _now_. Well, Nancy, you'll oblige _Papa?_--says the old Gentleman; I know you'll oblige _Papa_,--stalking over to her on the tops of his toes. Here the contest ended; _Miss_ taking the guitarre, condescended to oblige her _Papa_. She really sings and plays well:--if her manner had been less affected, we should have been more entertain'd.--The company staid supper, after which Lord Darcey came with me home.--I made _no_ objection:--of all things, I would make _none_--after what pass'd at table. Fortunate event! how I rejoice in my recovered tranquillity! The thoughts, the pleasing thoughts of freedom have kept me from sleep; I could not think of repose amidst my charming reflections. Happy, happy change! It is past two o'clock!--At all times and all seasons, I am, my dear Lady, Yours invariably, F. WARLEY. |
