"Oh, Miss Damer, are you here?" cried Miss Bruce: "we shall have no fun now! I thought you were in the drawing-room." "Cheerfulness is one thing, fun another; but when they both come together, they are often noisy companions so we must do without them here." "But we did not think you would come to us this evening," said Miss Grey. "Oh, do, Miss Damer, leave us to ourselves one half hour."

Damer dispensed a generous hospitality, and many distinguished persons were her guests; Joanna Baillie, Mrs. Siddons, Mrs. Garrick, and Mrs. Berry and her daughters were of her intimate circle.
