Morland favours me with much ofhis COM

sOh!' exclaimed Mrs. Fielding, i should
never have suspected that ones husband
was company.
You would have been mistaken if you
had, said her husband.
But how do you manage to get through
the time when you are alone!' asked the
lady.
what am alone, read, work,
play on the harp, or visit my favourItes
in the flower garden
Excellent! but hope these are not all
the people you visit
mo, we have some pleasant neiehbors;
bat as they are not very nearus, our visits
generally last two or three days.
well, declare that would tire my
PATIENCE
No doubt of it, said her husband; '6ve
minutes are enough to do that
Elisabeth said Mr.. Morland, 'wha.
have you to propose to our friends for this
morning"
i wish knew what would be agreeable
to Mrs. Fielding
o. any thing, every thing. am al
ways agreeable, am I not, Fielding!'
Perfectly so, Madam replied my
cousin John bowing very graveIy

lady fsbe would like a drive in an open
carriare; but, before she could answer
Mr.. Morland said, why an open carriage
when there is such an appearance of rain!
Don't YOU see the clouds on the noun

Il did not observe them,' replied my
cousin Elizabeth,
lit is of no consequence said Mrs
Fielding, 'for cant endure an open car
riage; | fancy that ! am just going to fal
out Of Il, and that the horses are running
away
I'VE can have close carriage, then,
said Elizabeth.
There you are wrong again. said her
husband, for the clouds are moving, and
there will be little rain, probably none
Conquer your fears, Mrs. Fielding, you
