 of Alexander against Lord Thanet, who
declares himself for Caesar, I dare no longer think of assuming the
hero: nevertheless, though I may dance awkwardly, yet, by observing
the tune, and with a little alertness, I hope to come off pretty well;
besides, Miss Hamilton will take care that too much attention shall
not be paid to me. As for my dress, I shall send Termes off tomorrow
morning; and if I do not show you at his return the most splendid habit
you have ever seen, look upon mine as the most disgraced nation in your
masquerade."

Termes set out with ample instructions, on the subject of his journey:
and his master, redoubling his impatience on an occasion like the
present, before the courier could be landed, began to count the minutes
in expectation of his return: thus was he employed until the very eve of
the ball; and that was the day that Miss Hamilton and her little society
had fixed for the execution of their project.

Martial gloves were then very much in fashion: she had by chance several
pairs of them: she sent one to Miss Blague, accompanied with four yards
of yellow riband, the palest she could find, to which she added this
note:

"You were the other day more charming than all the fair women in the
world: you looked yesterday still more fair than you did the day before:
if you go on, what will become of my heart? But it is a long time since
that has been a prey to your pretty little young wild boar's eyes. Shall
you be at the masquerade to-morrow? But can there be any charms at an
entertainment, at which you are not present? It does not signify: I
shall know you in whatever disguise you may be: but I shall be better
informed of my fate, by the present I send you: you will wear knots of
this riband in your hair; and these gloves will kiss the most beautiful
hands in the universe."

This billet, with the present, was delivered to Miss Blague with the
same success as the other had been conveyed to Lady Muskerry. Miss
Hamilton had just received an account of it, when the latter came to pay
her a visit: something seemed to possess her thoughts very much;
when, having
of Alexander against Lord Thanet, who 
 declares himself for Caesar, I dare no longer think of assuming the 
 hero: however, though I may dance awkwardly, so far, by observing 
 the tune, and with a little watchfulness, I hope to come off reasonably well; 
 besides, Miss Hamilton will take care that besides much care shall 
 not be paid to me. As for my dress, I shall send Termes off tomorrow 
 morning; and if I do not show you at his rejoinder the most splendid substance abuse 
 you have ever seen, look upon mine as the most disgraced nation in your 
 masquerade. " 

 Termes sic out with ample instructions, on the subject of his journey: 
 and his master, redouble his impatience on an occasion like the 
 present, before the courier could be land, began to count the minutes 
 in expectation of his return: therefore was he employed until the very eve of 
 the ball; and that was the day that Miss Hamilton and her little club 
 had fixed for the execution of their project. 

 Martial gloves were then very much in fashion: she had by chance several 
 pair of them: she sent one to Miss Blague, accompanied with four yard 
 of jaundiced riband, the palest she could find, to which she added this 
 note: 

 " You were the early day more charming than all the clean women in the 
 world: you look yesterday still more fair than you did the day before: 
 if you go along, what will become of my heart? But it is a long time since 
 that has been a prey to your pretty little young wild wild boar's eye. Shall 
 you be at the masquerade to - morrow? But can there be any charms at an 
 entertainment, at which you are not present? It does not signify: I 
 shall know you in whatever disguise you may be: but I shall be better 
 informed of my fortune, by the present I send you: you will wear knots of 
 this riband in your hair; and these glove will kiss the most beautiful 
 hand in the universe. " 

 This note, with the present, was delivered to Miss Blague with the 
 like success as the other had been convey to Lady Muskerry. Miss 
 Hamilton had just received an score of it, when the latter came to give 
 her a visit: something seemed to possess her thoughts very much; 
 when, having
