ABSTRACT
I have not thought it necessary to record every visit that I received from all my country neighbours; / but I must now mention one, which led to important consequences; a visit from sir Harry Ormsby, a very young dashing man of fortune, who, in expectation of the happy moment when he should be of age, resided with his mother, the dowager lady Ormsby. Her ladyship had heard that there had been some disagreement between her agent, Mr Hardcastle, and my people; but she took the earliest opportunity of expressing her wishes, that our families should be on an amicable footing.
