_Mother._ Thou, _Leathersides_, best know'st such nymphs to find, To thee their lodgings they communicate. Go thou procure the girl. [5] The cleanliness of the _English_ seems to have made a similar impression on the mind of M. _De Grosley_, who, in his "Tour to _London_," observes, that "The plate, hearth-stones, moveables, apartments, doors, stairs, the very street-doors, their locks, and the large brass knockers, are every day washed, scowered, or rubbed. Even in lodging-houses, the middle of the stairs is often covered with carpeting, to prevent them from being soiled. All the apartments in the house have mats or carpets; and the use of them has been adopted some years since by the _French_;" and that "The towns and villages upon the road have excellent inns, but somewhat dear; at these an _English_ lord is as well served as at his own house, and with a cleanliness much to be wished for in most of the best houses of _France_. The innkeeper makes his appearance only to do the honours of his table to the greatest personages, who often invite him to dine with them." [6] The chief of these, who wears something that seems to have been a tie-wig, was painted from a _French_ boy, who cleaned shoes at the corner of _Hog-Lane_. [7] In the collection of Mr. _Steevens_ only. [8] He had meditated, however, some additional improvements in the same plate. When he had inserted the storm, he began to consider the impropriety of turning the girl out in the midst of it with her head uncovered; and therefore, on a proof of this print, from which he designed to have worked, he sketched her hat in with _Indian_ ink. [9] It appears, on examination of the Registers, &c. that _Tho. Sice_ and _Tho. Horn_ are not fictitious names. Such people were really churchwardens when the repairs in 1725 were made. The following inscription on the pew, denoting a vault beneath, is also genuine, and, as far as can be known at present, was faithfully copied in regard to its obsolete spelling. THESE PEWES VNSCRVD AND TANE IN SVNDER IN STONE THERS GRAVEN WHAT IS VNDER TO WIT A VALT FOR BURIAL THERE IS WHICH EDWARD FORSET MADE FOR HIM AND HIS. Part of these words, in raised letters, at present form a pannel in the wainscot at the end of the right-hand gallery, as the church is entered from the street.--No heir of the _Forset_ family appearing, their vault has been claimed and used by his Grace the Duke of _Portland_, as lord of the manor. The mural monument of the _Taylors_, composed of lead gilt over, is likewise preserved. It is seen, in _Hogarth's_ print, just under the window. The bishop of the diocese, when the new church was built, gave orders that all the ancient tablets should be placed, as nearly as possible, in their former situations.
