We had set our oval Walnut-wood Table under the umbrageous Shade of two large Elms, and had spread it with one of our best Tablecloths. This was superciliously removed by the two Footmen, who spread a Tablecloth and Napkins they had brought with them. Our China Service and water Caraffes they condescended to use. Meanwhile, the Boatmen brought up a second Hamper, containing Ham, Tongue, Chicken, Sallet, and other Matters: but the Footmen, I should mention, brought the Plate, including not only silver Forks, but a silver Stew-Pan. The gay Bevy having streamed hither and thither, making their humorous and contemptuous Remarks, which were continually interspersed with, "Oh, my _Lord_!" and, "Oh, Sir _Charles_!" at length settled down to their Repast. There were three Ladies and four Gentlemen. Also, there was a tall, slender Girl in Black, whom I concluded my _Lady's_ own Woman, because she stood the whole Time, a little behind Lady _Betty_, holding her Handkerchief and Scent-Bottle, watching her Eye, and obeying her Commands, almost before spoken; notwithstanding which, my _Lady's_ Lip was often put up, and such words as "Thou'rt strangely slow ... Canst not hear me, Creature?" were muttered by her rosy mouth. And there was pale Mr. _Fenwick_, sitting at his open Casement over the Bun-Shop, Book in Hand, hearing, seeing, and silently noting all. One of the Gentlemen was my Lord _Earlstoke_, (to whom the Town gave Lady _Betty_,) a weak-eyed, puny Peer; another, Sir _Charles Sefton_, all Fashion and Froth; a third, a handsome young Gentleman, whom they called Mr. _Arbuthnot_: the fourth, who had the Wit and Sprightliness of all the Rest, (for whereas they continually laughed, he continually gave them Something worth laughing at,) was a lank, ungraceful, undersized Personage, of olivander Complexion, with projecting Teeth, quick, black Eyes, and a not unagreeable Physiognomy, though his Figure was mean and almost Distorted. His Name was _Caryl_, which I learned not at first, they were so given to address him by his baptismal Name of _Paul_. Then, for the Ladies, there was Lady _Mary_, my _Lord's_ Aunt, and the Duenna of the Party; and Lady _Grace_, a sweet pretty Creature, but empty and self-sufficient. It might have been thought, that two able-bodied Men and a Foot-page were Servitors enow for a Party of seven; but on the contrary, they kept my younger Sister _Prudence_, who was then very pretty, continually afoot, tripping to and from the House on one impertinent errand or another, while I attended to the general Customers. At length, coming up to me with a painful Blush on her Cheek, "_Patty_," says she, "do oblige me by changing Places, will you? I can't abide the ways of these Quality, and give no satisfaction, and only get scoffed at."
