The rest of the company consisted of a Mr Bourgeois a performer
I think he is in the Hay-Market a very decent intelligent useful
man, and three Maid-Servants who came down to prepare a
house for the reception of Lady .... who is expected here
to day — Mr Bourgeois having found a friend here whom he was
to meet, and the Maids being gone upon their business, Mrs H.
who had been disappointed by some accident of a gentleman whom her
husband had engaged to conduct her, was not sorry I suppose for
want of a better Cavaliere servante to put herself under my protection.
We went to the play and supped tête á together, I was
going to say tête a tête, which would not have been true, as
the tête a tête was spoilt by one of the aforesaid Maid-servants
whom she had engaged to be her bed-fellow, and who came in
at the time that was presented to her, before we had thought
of going to the play which does not finish here till very late.
In justice to truth and to the Lady I could do no less than tell
you who she had for a bedfellow, lest you should suspect any body
else.
