To be sure, they thought a town life, with my brother's fortune to procure all its amusements, must be quite delightful. Now, sir, to let you know how I found it. I was content to be lugged about by my sister for the first week or two, as I knew that in a large town I should be like a fish out of water, as the saying is. But my sister-in-law was always putting me in mind of my ignorance : ' and you country-girls, and we who have been in London, and we who have been abroad. ' However, between ou...rselves, I don't find that she knows quite so much as she would make me believe. . . . We have got masters that come in to give us lessons in French, and music, and dancing. The two first I can submit to very well. I could always get my tongue readily enough about any thing ; and I could play pretty well on the virginals at home, though my master says my fingering is not what it should be. But the dancing is terrible business. My sister-in-law and I are put into the stocks every morning to teach us the right position of our feet ; and all the steps I was praised for in the country are now good for nothing, as the cotillon step is the only thing fit for people of fashion ; and so we are twisted and twirled till my joints ache again ; and after all, we make, I believe, a very bad figure at it.
