CHAPTER LV I resolve to ingratiate myself with the Mother, and am

favoured by accident-the Precise Lady finds her husband, and quit the

Coach-the Captain is disappointed of his dinner-we arrive at Bath-I

accompany Miss Snapper to the Long-room, where she is attacked by beau

Nash, and, turns the Laugh against him-I make love to her, and receive a

check-Squire her to an Assembly, where I am blessed with a Sight of my

dear Narcissa, which discomposes me so much, that Miss Snapper,

observing my disorder, is at pains to discover the Cause-is piqued at

the Occasion, and, in our way home, pays me a sarcastic Compliment-I am

met by Miss Williams, who is the maid and Confidante of Narcissa-she

acquaints me with her Lady's regard for me while under the disguise of a

Servant, and describes the Transports of Narcissa on seeing me at the

Assembly, in the Character of a Gentleman-I am surprised with an Account

of her Aunt's Marriage, and make an Appointment to meet Miss Williams

the next day
