We therefore did no more than we had doneat Farnham–– sit in the carriage while fresh horses were put in,and proceeded directly to Cobham, which we reached by seven,and about eight were sitting down to a very nice roast fowl, &c.We had altogether a very good journey, and everything at Cobhamwas comfortable. I could not pay Mr. Harrington! That wasthe only alas! of the business. I shall therefore return his bill, andmy mother’s 2l., that you may try your luck. We did not beginreading till Bentley Green. Henry’s approbation is hitherto evenequal to my wishes. He says it is different° from the other two, butdoes not appear to think it at all inferior. He has only marriedMrs. R. I am afraid he has gone through the most entertainingpart. He took to Lady B. and Mrs. N. most kindly, and gives greatpraise to the drawing of the characters. He understands them all,likes Fanny, and, I think, foresees how it will all be. I finished the“Heroine”° last night, and was very much amused by it. I wonderJames did not like it better. It diverted me exceedingly. We wentto bed at ten. I was very tired, but slept to a miracle, and amlovely to-day, and at present Henry seems to have no complaint.We left Cobham at half-past eight, stopped to bait and breakfastat Kingston, and were in this house considerably before two. Nicesmiling Mr. Barlowe met us at the door and, in reply to enquiriesafter news, said that peace was generally expected.° I have takenpossession of my bedroom, unpacked my bandbox, sent Miss P.’stwo letters to the two-penny post,° been visited by M d. B.,° and amnow writing by myself at the new table in the front room. It issnowing. We had some snowstorms yesterday, and a smart frost atnight, which gave us a hard road from Cobham to Kingston; butas it was then getting dirty and heavy, Henry had a pair of leadersput on to the bottom of Sloane St. His own horses, therefore,cannot have had hard work. I watched for veils as we drovethrough the streets, and had the pleasure of seeing several uponvulgar heads. And now, how do you all do?–– you in particular,after the worry of yesterday and the day before. I hope Marthahad a pleasant visit again, and that you and my mother could eatyour beef-pudding. Depend upon my thinking of the chimney-

Places are secured at DruryLane for Saturday, but so great is the rage for seeing Kean° thatonly a third and fourth row could be got; as it is in a front box,however, I hope we shall do pretty well–– Shylock, a good play forFanny–– she cannot be much affected, I think. Mrs. Perigord hasjust been here. She tells me that we owe her master for the silkdyeing.My poor old muslin has never been dyed yet. It has beenpromised to be done several times. What wicked people dyers are.They begin with dipping their own souls in scarlet sin. It isevening. We have drank tea, and I have torn through the third vol.of the “Heroine.” I do not think it falls off. It is a delightfulburlesque, particularly on the Radcliffe style. Henry is going onwith “Mansfield Park.” He admires H. Crawford: I mean properly,as a clever, pleasant man. I tell you all the good I can, as Iknow how much you will enjoy it. We hear that Mr. Kean is moreadmired than ever. There are no good places to be got in DruryLane for the next fortnight, but Henry means to secure some forSaturday fortnight, when you are reckoned upon. Give my love tolittle Cass. I hope she found my bed comfortable last night.° I haveseen nobody in London yet with such a long chin as Dr. Syntax,nor anybody quite so large as Gogmagolicus.°‘Yours aff tly. ,‘J. AUSTEN.’
