Brissot de Warville, who visited Mount Vernon in 1788, wrote: "Every thing has an air of sim- 57 plicity in his house, his table is good, but not ostentatious, and no deviation is seen from regularity and domestic economy. Mrs. Washington superintends the whole, and joins to the qualities of an excellent housewife that simple dignity which ought to characterize a woman whose husband has acted the greatest part on the theatre of human affairs; while she possesses that amenity, and manifests that... attention to strangers, which renders hospitality so charming. " Thomas Lee Shippen wrote from Mount Vernon: "Mrs. Washington is the very essence of kindness. Her soul seems to overflow with it like the most abundant fountain and her happiness is in exact proportion to the number of objects upon which she can dispense her benefits. " More than half of the forty-six years of Washing ton s ownership of Mount Vernon was spent in the pub lic service. In 1798, near the end of his life, he wrote: "Twenty-five years have passed away since I have con sidered myself a permanent resident beneath my own roof at Mount Vernon.
