ABSTRACT
The family of Lord Hawkhurst was now arrived at Abersley, the seat of his ancestors, an old but magnificent house about ten miles from the seat of Mr. Harcourt. They sent immediately to enquire after the family at Clare Park; and his Lordship, in a very affectionate letter to his nephew, expressed a wish that, among persons so nearly related, all ceremony might be waved; and proposed with Lady Hawkhurst and his daughters to have the honor of dining with Mr. Harcourt the following Thursday.
