shop; they're yours; and THAT'S for you; Mrs。 Cox。〃
And here we are; back again。 And I write this from the old back
shop; where we are all waiting to see the new year in。 Orlando
sits yonder; plaiting a wig for my Lord Chief Justice; as happy as
may be; and Jemimarann and her mother have been as busy as you can
imagine all day long; and are just now giving the finishing touches
to the bridal…dresses: for the wedding is to take place the day
after to…morrow。 I've cut seventeen heads off (as I say) this very
day; and as for Jemmy; I no more mind her than I do the Emperor of
China and all his Tambarins。 Last night we had a merry meeting of
our friends and neighbors; to celebrate our reappearance among
them; and very merry we all were。 We had a capital fiddler; and we
kept it up till a pretty tidy hour this morning。 We begun with
quadrills; but I never could do 'em well; and after that; to please
Mr。 Crump and his intended; we tried a gallopard; which I found
anything but easy: for since I am come back to a life of peace and
comfort; it's astonishing how stout I'm getting。 So we turned at
once to what Jemmy and me excels ina country dance; which is
rather surprising; as we was both brought up to a town life。 As
for young Tug; he showed off in a sailor's hornpipe: which Mrs。 Cox
says is very proper for him to learn; now he is intended for the
sea。 But stop! here comes in the punchbowls; and if we are not
happy; who is? I say I am like the Swish people; for I can't
flourish out of my native HAIR。
