This Mrs. C------ may say, when
She first seduced this _then_ lovely girl from
the boarding school, and taught her wil-
ling mind the use of that _machine_, her
amorous desires so ardently wished for.--
She is the daughter of a banker in the
city, and might have remained with her
first undoer for many years longer, had
not her itch for _variety_, and the brandy
bottle, got the better of every sub-
servience due to a keeper. Now arrived
at the full age of twenty-six, with fine
sparkling
( 63 )
sparkling blue eyes, genteel tall figure,
her breasts rather full but not less firm,
very fair, and contrasted beautifully by
the blue branching veins which surround
every part; apparently light brown hair,
but so covered with powder that the colour
is doubtful; of a sprightly and amorous
disposition, and a very warm temper,
especially when _tempered_ by her favorite
liquor, of which she loves to take large
and copious libations, ever desirous of
seeing the bottom. Her price is moderate,
the smallest piece being as much as she
in general expects.

"Methinks I wish, and wish for what I know
not,
"But still I wish,--yet, if I had that woman,
"She I believe could tell me what I wish for.
Should the man of pleasure take a
nocturnal ramble _into_ this lady's lodgings,
and be happy enough to find her at home
and alone, he need not wish himself for
that night under the influence of any
other star than that of _Venus_; as she will
very
( 64 )
very agreeably make the dulest hours to
pass away with the soft music of love,
and beat time to its _silent_ harmony in all
the luxury of soft delight; she is of a
fine brunette complexion, hazel eyes,
which beam inexpressibly sweet, remarka-
ble fine teeth, plump firm bubbies, and
a stately carriage; she dances well, and
is amiable in her temper, lively in her
disposition, and carries good-nature in all
_her actions_; nor does she neglect any
thing in her power to please her visitors.
Her price is from two guineas upwards,
to any sum the gentleman she obliges
thinks she merits; which at the blooming
age of twenty cannot be too much. Had
she less partiality for a certain hair dresser,
we think she would be more pleasing to
the generality of her visitors.
