Religious retire- jnent seems to have been a part of the family oeconomy. laid THE COUNTESS AND GERTRUDE. 45 laid waste the dwellings of our acquaintance. We lived, * By our own use and not by others* eyes/ This was the secret. In our comparative view of the depreciated value of money, the increased price of provisions, and the weight of public burdens, we omit all re- collection of our own share in these grievances, and the reduplication of them by our own follies. We do not deny, we cannot bu...t feel and very disagreeably too, that an income which once left a, considerable surplus, when every decent luxury was enjoyed, will now scarce admit of the most moderate enjoyments ; but let us be consistent in our complaint. Our friend Shuffle must notplead the times, or even his twelve children, in defence of his guinea, when he bestows a younger child's portion on fitting up a room, nor can we listen to Mrs. Sift's solicitudes in saving washing, when she informs our ignorance, that her veil cost eighty guineas.
