ABSTRACT
Rosella, when she bade adieu to Patty and her brother, left with them such magnificent marks of her approbation, that Molly’s nuts in cupboard were entirely forgotten; and as Miss Beauclerc’s carriage drove from the door, little girl, who had become fond of her lovely playfellow, began a cry that threatened to last whole day. Simpson was obliged to ride a hack-horse, not having been able to procure a second pair for a chaise, and Mr. Pet was, of course, taken into that of Miss Beau-clerc, who was far from being displeased that she was compelled to shew this mark of respect to the master, in the person of the dog. They arrived at Sedgfield in time to dine; and when the repast was over, Miss Beauclerc, sending for the master of the house where she had put up, demanded if he could direct her to the house of Mr. Mompesson, and if he knew any thing of the family.
