1767

From: 1767 To: 1767

"We received your note from the inn door at Biggleswade, and shall as you desire us write every post [to Knaresborough]... This morning as we came out of church, my damsel informed me she had seen from her pew an open chaise with 2 people in it ...and a servant in a livery like Lord Breadalbane's... Now what do you think we concluded... why truly that it was Lord and Lady Glenorchy come to pay you a visit in their way to Sugnall... A grievous bustle we were all in. What shall we do for dinner, what shall we do for beds... Our certainty was increased by seeing this vehicle put up at the stables... when behold! it was my Lord Bute and my Lord Mount Stuart come to walk about the gardens, and they may be there now for aught I know, for I have not ventured after them... I have wrote to Miss Talbot and told her we were here like enchanted princesses waiting for the sage Daniel to instruct us in the time when our disenchantment was to be accomplished. I have wrote too to Miss Gregory in the manner you told me." Mentions going to Wimpole the following week.
