Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Prose, Vol. 3 of 5 You will, I am sure, be concerned to hear that your favourite, Miss Brown, the pretty Catholic, who lived with Madame d´Acunha, is dead at Paris, by the ignorance of the physician. If one could make you laugh immoderately, it would be by a charming mob-story of the two eldest Mesdames of France being with child by their royal father - what Unigenitus´s the offspring would be! Tom Hervey, who always obliges the town with a quarrel in a dead season, has published a delightful letter to Sir William Bunbury, full of madness and wit. He had given the Doctor a precedent for a clergyman´s fighting a duel, and I furnished him with another story of the same kind, that diverted him extremely. A Dr. Suckling, who married a niece of my father, quarrelled with a country squire, who said, ´Doctor, your gown is your protection.´ ´Is it so?´ replied the parson: ´but, by God! it shall not he yours;´ pulled it off, and thrashed him - I was going to say damnably, but at least, divinely. Do but think, my Lord Coke and Tom Hervey are both hound to the peace, and are always going to fight together: how comfortable for their sureties!
