Where shall I begin? let me see — the first place belongs
of common right to the ladies — the ideas I brought
with me respecting the female part of this family are
proved quite topsy turvey: and unfortunately they are not yet
cleared up. I had expected to find in Lady Shelburne a
Lady Louisa Fitzpatrick sister of an Earl of Ossery
whom I remember at school instead of her I found a
lady who has for her sister a Miss Caroline Vernon. So
not then the maid of honour, the sister to Lady Grosvenor,
the lady who was fond of Ld Carmarthen and of whom
he was fond, and whom he quitted for an heiress, and
a pair of horns? Be they who they may, the one is
loveliest of matrons, the other of virgins: they have both
of them more than I would wish, of reserve: but it is
a reserve of modesty rather than pride. The quadrupeds
whom you know I love next consist of a child of a
year old, a tyger, a spaniel formerly attached to Lady
Shelburne
