L may think proper, and at any hour and place she may appoint. Lady D leaves the choice of the weapons to Mrs. L . Mrs. II. Freke, who has the honour of presenting this note, is Lady Delacour's friend upon this occasion. "I cannot repeat Mrs.
'Retreat into the first place you can, whispered Clarence to us: we were close to him. Harriot Freke pushed her way into a milliner's shop: I could not get in after her, for a frightened pig turned back suddenly, and almost threw me down. Clarence Hervey caught me, and favoured my retreat into the shop. But poor Clarence lost his bet by his gallantry.
"Drapery, if you ask me my opinion," cried Mrs. Freke, "drapery, whether wet or dry, is the most confoundedly indecent thing in the world." "That depends on public opinion, I allow," said Mr. Percival. "The Lacedaemonian ladies, who were veiled only by public opinion, were better covered from profane eyes than some English ladies are in wet drapery."

She mistook the surgeon for a lover of Lady Delacour's; and she was hurrying home with the joyful intelligence, when she was caught in the gardener's trap.
The independent member having taken the Chiltern Hundreds, vacates his seat: a new election comes on directly: the Luttridges are to bring in Freke not Harriot's cousin they have cut him, but her husband, who is now to commence senator: he is to come in for the county, upon condition that Luttridge shall have Freke's borough.
Freke nothing to change her tone: she was one of those ladies who can remember or forget people, be perfectly familiar or strangely rude, just as it suits the convenience, fashion, or humour of the minute. Belinda was alone, and reading, when Mrs. Freke dashed into the room. "How do, dear creature?" cried she, stepping up to her, and shaking hands with her boisterously "How do?

In short, neither ribands nor brandy could bring them to reason. With true English pig-headedness, they went every man of them and polled for an independent candidate of their own choosing, whose wife, forsooth, was a proper behaved woman. "The only thing I had to console me for all this was Clarence Hervey's opinion that I looked better in man's clothes than my friend Harriot Freke.
