And thus, Lucy, can he decline complying, and yec send away a requester so much delighted with him, as to forget what her request was.

Miss Grandison Lady G. I would say singled me out soon after This Beauchamp is really a very pretty fellow, Harriet.

He is an agreeable man, answered J,

So I think.

She said no more of him at that time.

Between dinner and tea, at Lady L.‘s motion, they made me play on the harpsichord; and after one lesson, they besought Sir Charles to sing to my playing. He would not, he said, deny any request that was made him on that day.

He sung. He has a mellow manly voice, and great command of it.

This introduced a little concert. Mr. Beauchamp took the violin; Lord L. the bass-viol; Lord G. the German-flute; and most of the company joined in the chorus. The song was from Alexander’s Feast; the words;

Happy, happy, happy pair!

None but the good deserves the fair;

Sir Charles, though himself equally brave and good, preferring the latter word to the former.

Lady L. had always insisted upon dancing at her sister’s wedding. We were not company enough for country-dances: but music having been ordered, and the performers come, it was insisted upon that we should have a dance, though we were engaged in a conversation, which I thought infinitely more agreeable.

I was abashed at the general Voice calling upon us both: but it was obeyed.

He deserved all the praises that Miss Gran Lady G. I would say, gave him in her letter to me.

Lord bless me, my dear, this man is every-thing: but his conversation has ever been among the po-litest people of different nations.

Lord W. wished himself able, from his gout, to take out Miss Jervois.

The bridegroom was called upon by Sir Charles: and he took out the good girl; who danced very prettily. I fancied, that he chose to call out Lord G. rather than Mr. Beauchamp. He is the most delicate and considerate of men.

Sir Charles was afterwards called upon by the bride herself: and she danced then with a grace indeed! I was pleased that she could perform so well at her own wedding.

Supper was not ready till twelve. Mr. Reeves’s coach came about that hour; but we got not away till two
