I. 12 198 The Amazing Duchess duction of the clever profligate Potter, son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the first words of which are " Awake, my Fanny " meaning the lady in question. Miss Murray had her beaux, after the fashion of other ladies ; and she had a temper too. One night she was complaining of want of money, and Sir Richard Atkins, one of her admirers, imme- diately gave her a twenty-pound note. The offer enraged rather than appeased her bad humour. " Damn your twenty pounds ! Wha...t does it signify ? " she exclaimed, and with flushed cheeks clapped it between two pieces of bread and butter and ate it, thus unconsciously anticipating Lord Sandwich in his invention of the popular stay for the appetite of modern days. The lively Kitty Fisher has been made the heroine of the bank-note sandwich story ; but if the story was true of her, she was certainly not the first to waste good money on bad food. Cleopatra did the same sort of thing much more splendidly many years before. At last even the people of rank and " quality, " the inhabitants of Mayfair, grew frightened at their own practices, and as a consequence a Bill was intro- duced into Parliament forbidding clandestine marriages.
