"Zounds, madam," cries a beau who is ogling a woman of quality in a stage box, "they say Anne Oldfield will never see forty-two again, but I'll warrant you, madam, she looks not a day older than yourself." And the woman of quality, who is over forty, bows at the compliment, as well she may. Bellchambers records that Lady Townley was universally regarded as Oldfield's ne plus ultra in acting.
Townley told me that long ago when a ship from England arrived in the Hoogly a cannon was fired, and all the gay bachelors left their offices and went to the docks to appraise the new arrivals. A ball was given on board on the night of arrival, and many of the girls were engaged before they left the ship. I don't object to that.
After tea Lovell said he thought he'd stroll up the road and pay Peter Townley a call. Jonah Stetson and his wife looked at each other when he had gone. "Got something in his eye," nodded Jonah. "Him and Peter weren't never much of friends." "Maybe Aunt Sally's bread is coming back to her after all," said his wife. "People used to be hard on Lovell.
"Lucinda, but for her attention I probably should not have lived through this sickness. Do you think a hundred dollars so much to pay for your husband's life?" "You exaggerate the value of her services," said his wife. "Dr. Townley says the same thing that I do." "You are both infatuated with that woman," said Mrs. Preston, impatiently.

After speaking to the jailer, the magistrate turned to her and said, "The turnkey will take you to the prisoner's cell and leave you there for the night, if you desire it, but you can't have a light during the night it is contrary to rules. My name is Colonel Townley: if I can help you in anything, ask the jailer for my address and come to me.
"Did they give their names?" "No, mum." "I will go down directly. I suppose they won't stay long." Mrs. Preston sailed into the parlor with the air of a city lady, as she proudly imagined, but stopped short in some surprise when she recognized her visitors. Of course, she did not suspect the nature of their business. Dr. Townley arose as she entered. "Good-morning, Mrs. Preston," he said.
Townley, who quite simply and conventionally bade good-bye to them and their Indian daughter-in-law. Lali had grown to like Mrs. Townley, and when they parted she spoke a few words quickly in her own tongue, and then immediately was confused, because she remembered that she could not be understood.
We anchored at these isles on the 20th, and here provided ourselves with wood and water, and caught great abundance of rock-fish. Next day sixty of our men were sent under Captain Townley to surprise an Indian village, seven or eight leagues to the N.W. Puerto de Navidad, in lat. 19° 20' N. seems the haven belonging to Purificacion.
