LETTER XV

MISS BYRON.--IN CONTINUATION

THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 6.

Miss Grandison, accompanied by Miss Jervois, has just left us. Lady

L---- has undertaken, she says, to set all hands at work, to have things

in tolerable order, early as the day is, for Tuesday next. Miss

Grandison (would you believe it?) owns, that she wants spirits to order

anything. What must be the solemnity of that circumstance, when near,

that shall make Charlotte Grandison want spirits?

She withdrew with me to my apartment. She threw herself into a chair:

'Tis a folly to deny it, Harriet, but I am very low, and very silly: I

don't like next Tuesday by any means.

Is your objection only to the day, my dear?
