ABSTRACT
LordMonteithand his friend were forced to project fresh measures; for Mrs. Bridget was so unwilling to offend her dear generous young lady, that she refused to appear any more upon the stage, and yet her gratitude to the dear generous young gentleman induced her to consent still to take a part behind the scenes. She suggested that her lady would soon pay a visit to a neighbouring family; that she would go on horseback, only accompanied by Mr. John the groom; that the road lay through a / neighbouring coppice, but that lord W. as well as sir William had keys of the ridings; 115 and she concluded with observing significantly, that Mr. John was a very well-behaved man, no listener, and too discreet to say any thing.
