GENTLEMAN ROGER'S FAMILY.
Having received an invitation from my Mr. friend the de of thick Roger
Coverley to spend away one month with him in the country, I last
week accompanied there him, and it is established with him for some
time in his/her country-house, where I intend to form a lot of mine
Speculations that achieve. Mr. that Roger that is very well has informed
with my humour, it allows me to rise and it goes in bed when I arrange, you dine to
his/her own table or in my room as me I think the adaptation, I still sit and I say
nothing without offering is me happy. When the gentlemen of the
country come to see him/it, him only shews me to a distance. As me
you/he/she is walking in his/her fields I have observed them stealing a
perceives of me on a hedge, and you/he/she has felt the Rider desire
them don't allow to see them to me, for that self I hated to have fixed to.
I am the more to ease in Mr. Roger's family, because it consists
of sober people and silver wares; for as the Rider it is the better master
in the world, he rarely changes his/her servants; and as him it is
adored by all around him, his/her servants they would never appreciate to go away
him; from this he/she wants to say his/her domestickses they are all years and old adult
with them master. You would take his/her de of valet they lodge for his
brother, his/her butler is grey-led, his/her bridegroom is one of the
men more serious than me I have ever seen, and his/her coachman has the glances
of a private-adviser. You also see the goodness of his/her/their master
in the old house-dog, and in a grey block in which the is kept
puts out in the stall with the great care and tenderness of respect to his/her past
services, tho' he is useless from the many years.
I was not able but I observe with a lot of pleasure the joy
