Depend upon it Sir, that this is a faithful Description of Brinshore-not in the smallest degree exaggerated-and if you have heard it differently spoken of-' 'Sir I never heard it spoken of in my Life before,' said Mr. Heywood. 'I did not know there was such a place in the World.' 'You did not!- There my Dear-(turning with exultation to his Wife)-you see how it is. So much for the Celebrity of Brinshore!-This Gentleman did not know there was such a place in the World.- Why, in truth Sir, I fancy we may apply to Brinshore, that line of the Poet Cowper in his description of the religious Cottager, as opposed to Voltaire-"She, never heard of half a mile from home."'-'With all my Heart Sir-Apply any Verses you like to it- But I want to see something applied to your Leg-and I am sure by your Lady's countenance that she is quite of my opinion and thinks it a pity to lose any more time-And here come my Girls to speak for themselves and their Mother (two or three genteel looking young Women followed by as many Maid servants, were now seen issueing from the House)-I began to wonder the Bustle should not have reached them.-A thing of this kind soon makes a Stir in a lonely place like ours.-Now Sir, let us see how you can be best conveyed into the House.'-The young Ladies approached and said every thing that was proper to recommend their Father's offers; and in an unaffected manner calculated to make the Strangers easy.-
And as Mrs. P. was exceedingly anxious for relief-and her Husband by this time, not much less disposed for it-a very few civil scruples were enough-especially as the Carriage being now set up, was discovered to have received such Injury on the fallen side as to be unfit for present use.-Mr. Parker was therefore carried into the House, and his Carriage wheeled off to a vacant Barn.
