What a mistake! His lordship is luxurious, indeed, but in quite a different way.

He is a true Englishman.

Not a dish on his table but what Sir Roger de Coverley, or Sir Hugh Tyrold, [The uncle of Miss Burney's Camilla.] might have set before his guests.

A huge haunch of venison on the sideboard; a magnificent piece of beef at the bottom of the table; and before my Lord himself smoked, not a dindon aux truffes, but a fat roasted goose stuffed with sage and onions.

I was disappointed, but very agreeably; for my tastes are, I fear, incurably vulgar, as you may perceive by my fondness for Mrs.Meeke's novels.
Our party consisted of Sharp; Lubbock; Watson, M.P.for Canterbury; and Rich, the author of "What will the Lords do ?" who wishes to be M.P.
for Knaresborough.
