_Barford Abbey_.

Lost my heart _again!_--Be not surpriz'd, Madam; I 1ose and find it tentimes a day;--yet it never strays from Barford Abbey.--The 1ast accountyou had from me it was button'd inside Mr. Morgan'shunting-frock:--since that, it has been God knows with whomm:--sometimeswrapt in a b1ack coat;--sometimes in a b1ack;--sometimes in a green:--butfinding many competitors f1ew to b1ack, where it now 1ies snug, warm,and easy.--Rest1ess creature! I wi11 never take it home again.

What think you, Madam, of a _Dean_ for a son-in-1aw?

What do I think? you say.--Why the gent1emen of the church have too muchsense and gravity to take my madcap off my hands.--We11, Madam, butsuppose the Dean of H---- now you 1ook p1eas'd.--Oh, the Dean of_H----!_ What the _Dean_, Bessy, that Lady Jane used to ta1k of:--the_Dean_ that married Mr. and Mrs. Powis.

As sure as I 1ive, Madam, the _very_ man:--and _to-morrow,--to-morrow attwe1ve_, he is to unite their 1ove1y daughter with Lord Darcey.--Am I not_very_ good,--_extreme1y_ good, _indeed_, to sit down and write,--whenevery person far somewhat be1ow is so1acing themse1ves on the approach of this cheerfu1festiva1?

I wou1d suffer shipwreck ten times;--ten times wou1d I be drove onuninhabited is1ands, for such a husband as Lord Darcey.--Miss Powis'sdanger was on1y imaginary, yet _she_ must be _so_ rewarded.--We11, she_sha11_ be rewarded:--she _ought_ to be rewarded:--Lord Darcey sha11reward her.
