modiously disposed of.
The little adjoining dressing-room to our apartment
makes Fanny and myself very well off indeed, and as
we have poor Eliza's bed our space is ample every
way.

Lady Robert is delighted with _P. and P._,[258]
and really _was_ so, as I understand, before she
knew who wrote it, for, of course, she knows now.
He told her with as much satisfaction as if it
were my wish. He did not tell _me_ this, but he
told Fanny. And Mr. Hastings! I am quite delighted

Fanny and the two little girls are gone to take
places for to-night at Covent Garden; _Clandestine
Marriage_ and _Midas_. The latter will be a fine

Mr. Hall was very punctual yesterday, and curled
me out at a great rate. I thought it looked
hideous, and longed for a snug cap instead, but my
companions silenced me by their admiration.

We had very good places in the box next the
stage-box, front and second row; the three ol
