a similar notice of a part of the family
that was more agreable to me. To improve
the acquaintance, the two elder ladies took
occasion to insinuate that a compliment
of a para apiece to the two young folks
would not be unacceptable. I could not choose
as may well be imagined, but oblige them
at so cheap a rate: their fair sister, who
