I fear you will
be tired with my prattle when I see you!
I am to return these visits singly; and there were eight ladies here of
different families. Dear heart! I shall find enough to do!--I doubt my
time will not be so well filled up, as I once promised my dear master!--
But he is pleased, cheerful, kind, affectionate! O what a happy creature
am I!--May I be always thankful to God, and grateful to him!
When all these tumultuous visitings are over, I shall have my mind, I
hope, subside into a family calm, that I may make myself a little useful
to the household of my dear master; or else I shall be an unprofitable
servant indeed!
Lady Davers sent this morning her compliments to us both, very
affectionately; and her lord's good wishes and congratulations: and she
desired my writings per bearer; and says, she will herself bring them to
me again, with thanks, as soon as she has read them; and she and her lord
will come and be my guests (that was her particularly kind word) for a
fortnight.
I have now but one thing to wish for; and then, methinks, I shall be all
ecstasy: and that is, your presence, both of you, and your blessings;
which I hope you will bestow upon me every morning and night, till you
are settled in the happy manner my dear Mr.
