Sir W. Pen did give me an account this afternoon of his design of buying Sir Robert Brooke's fine house at Wansted; which I so wondered at, and did give him reasons against it, which he allowed of: and told me that he did intend to pull down the house and build a less, and that he should get L1500 by the old house, and I know not what fooleries.
Of course, Lord Wansted will not think of it, and he may count on my boroughs. A peace! shameful, disgraceful, dastardly proposition!"

On this subject I have much to say to you, and on some others besides, but defer it until I shall have the pleasure of seeing you at Wansted a pleasure which I hope to have in about three weeks hence when we shall talk over old affairs, and, mayhap, some new ones.
Then to other talk, and among the rest about Sir W. Pen's being to buy Wansted House of Sir Robert Brookes, but has put him off again, and left him the other day to pay for a dinner at a tavern, which she says our parishioner, Mrs. Hollworthy, talks of; and I dare be hanged if ever he could mean to buy that great house, that knows not how to furnish one that is not the tenth part so big.
