ABSTRACT
I found that my slumber was broken by Lord Kencarth, who had entered my chamber to tell me that his pocket had been picked during his absence the preceding evening, and that his loss amounted to a no less sum than four hundred pounds. I instantly rose and dressed myself; a chaise and four was ordered, and three hours before day-break we set out for London. In sixty-nine minutes we reached Hanover-square – His lordship’s town residence was spacious, and every thing about it evinced expence, bordering on prodigality.
