I did not feel in spirit to witness it, but when it was fairly over, and the musicians and the ladies were withdrawn, I went into the room to see if I could find any where to spend the night. But such had been the influx of company, that there was scarcely room for the ladies, at least ac- cording to their city ideas. Great things can be accomplished by willing minds ; the single ladies took in three, or sometimes four, of their fair sis- ters into their little nests. Some of the matrons displa...ced their husbands, and supplied their places with a female acquaintance. How far the good men were consulted in this matter, I know not, but judging from their looks they seemed to like it not. The whole scene was ludicrous enough, and a Hogarth would have found good subjects for his FACTS AND FANCY. 77 inimitable pencil.
