Linc. Inn Thursday Feb: 8. 1776.
Ah! you young scape-grace you, what a world have
plague hast thou put me to, by running away with the
key of that sacred mansion? Besides bestowing on thee a whole peal of "Rakas", I should have called thee
"fool" a hundred times for it, had not I consider'd that
like as the puissant Amasis saw no reason why he should
be damned himself for the love of his fair daughter the tender Amasida,
no more was there why I should damn myself to
satiate my wrath, how soever merited, against thee: ainsi with
equal prudence and piety je me suis contentè de te maudir.
Pour la clef, graces a dieu, j'en suis maitre
encore une fois, par la politesse de Mr Nairne, qui
a eu la bontè de me l'envoyer par un de ses gens.
Pour la vieille, il ne faut pas la laisser aller avant que
l'Arcange soit de retour: c'est une occasion qui ne
faut pas laisser echapper. No - no. Il faut positively lay an
embargo on her.
No - I cannot say I am violently struck with Miss
S. She has indeed a most enchanting set of teeth — seems
well made: and is of a very good size. But her features viz: nose and mouth are
too large for her face: eyes I do not recollect much about.
Indeed I could not get a full view of her face: she was dressed
very unbecomingly: which could not but be a great disadvantage
to her. However I should like very well to have an opportunity
of being better acquainted with her: but do not see
that probability of her suiting me to warrant me to ask for it
of myself. I will tell you what you might do: you might
mention it as a scheme of your own merely of your own to the Doctor Knight
