Well now this is something like an adventure, (putting down the umbrella and bandbox, R.) There´s a romantic mystery attached to me that I can´t unravel, in fact I feel myself like a tangled penn´orth of thread; the more I try to clear myself the more complicated I become. Let me calmly consider my singular position, (throws the cloak on the easy chair, R. and places the carpet bag beside it) In the first place here I have arrived at the Hotel d´ Angleterre in Dieppe accompanied by the Countess de Rambuteau - a real Countess! Poor Mrs. Greenfinch little dreams what a rake I am - but for a long time I´ve been dying for an aristocratic flirtation - I have looked at lovely women in the private boxes at the theatres - and have run after carriages in the park - but all in vain, and now, startling as the fact may seem, I have been for the last thirty hours the travelling companion of a French Countess, and have shared her post-chaise from Paris: when I say shared, I mean the Countess and her maid took the inside and left me the outside, where I was exalted to the dickey amongst a miscellaneous assortment of trunks and bandboxes, by which I have been jolted and jammed till I haven´t a bone in my body without its particular ache.

Hah! here she comes, and now for the tender revelation - the soft confession - the blushing avowal - the - Enter Mrs. Greenfinch, 2 E. R. , in a travelling dress closely veiled, she carries in her hand a lady´s walking basket. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
