of his own harriers. Coming through into Croydon, he shew'd us a
handsome house which he said was occupied by a Miss Elliot, a
Quaker maiden lady turned of 60, worth about 120,000 £. He
had made an offer to her which she declined: preferring variety of
Footmen to one Husband: of which preference she scruples not,
he says, to give broad hints in her conversation. A little further
he shew'd us a good pretty house which he told us was his own. He took
it last year at £22 a year for a Lady: but the Lady,
though bred in the country, bringing him in a Milliner's Bill
of £80 at the end of 6 weeks, he grew sick of the house and
let it for £13. I asked him what became of the furniture?
(meaning the live part of it) He told me he took it home; where
I understand it is at present.
