I had scarce shut the garden gate.
A waiting girl at a tavern.
Thus it has happened that the education of the father, daughter, and granddaughter has devolved on me.
Dressing my hair.
"Madam - may I presume?"
"Whar have you done with your lovely partner?"
At Ranelagh
Is that he?
With an air of gallantry.
My God! what shall I do?
"Hark you, Mrs. Frog, you'd best hold your tongue."
Introduced by the name of Monsieur Du Bois.
Their conversation was supported with great vehemence.
Held a candle to Madame Duval, that he might have a more complete view of her disaster.
The young ladies began to examine my dress.
Madame Duvalaccompanied by Monsieur Du Bois.
Monsieur Du Bois making his defence.
"Doubtless, Ma'am everything must be infinitely novel to you."
"So er've caught you at the glass."
Her eyes sparkled with fury.
Again I stood suspended.
"For heaven's sake, what is the matter?"
As if I had addressed myself wholly to him.
"O you creature!"
M. Du Bois put his hand upon his sword.
"Come here, child."
"Pray, ladies,don't be frightened, for I will walk my horse."
Sir Clement caught my hand.
