There is a report abroad, I find, that Miss
Fox has taken to working of miracles: making
the dumb to speak. Castles are No places more
proper than old castles for romantic exhibitions:
but the castle of St Angelo must now
yield to that of Warwick. His Holiness has
never yet been able to do any thing like it:
frequently oft he as he has been seen to rub his
head for 3/4 of an hour together upon St
Peter's toe, Mr Ord an eyewitness assures
us. Which of two three attributes, not, beauty or
serenity had the greatest share in producing the effect,
the historians commentators have not settled pronounced.
What the Devil loses in one greater he is
but too apt to gain in another. This answer
has been an occasion of sinning to an humble
admirer. It has filled him with envy as well towards He regards with envy jealously the patient
on whom the miracle was wrought and as toward the correspondent
to whom the news of it was written.
After wearing his fingers ends out with
writing, he gets nothing but compliments cold
as ice and short as sailors' prayers.
