"I would have been out long ago to call on you a sort of relation as you are now, as I may say but it was kept all so mum, one never knew the time to drink your health; and my Cousins Treforth wouldn't so much as give me a hint. But la! says I, why should you talk about artfulness? I'm right glad poor Mr. Amyas should find a sprightly young lady to cure him of his mopishness.
Belamour's tastes and habits, put in a very different manner from those of the Mistress Treforth, and as soon as supper was over she rose and retired. She did not see Dr. Godfrey again until he was ready for a late breakfast, having been up nearly the whole night with his friend.

The said billet was secured with floss silk sealed down in the antiquated fashion, and was written on full-sized quarto paper. These were the contents: "Madam,
