Excerpt from Confessions of Country Quarters, Vol. 1 of 3: Being Some Passages in the Life of Somerset Cavendish Cobb, Esq. The garrison hacks here are pretty smart steppers; indeed, rather better than usual there are not dragoons enough to inoculate them with stable slang and canteen man ners. One girl, daughter of an old fellow (pork and provision trade), who is as rich as a Jew, and gives dinners twice a-week, devilish near caught Willy Jackson. I think she would have booked him dearly beloved if it had'not been for 'a host of utterly u'npresentable relations that Willy could not swallow. She was not a bad style of craft either, though she ate like a cormorant and drank like a fish. She waltzes well; but is too adhesive for my taste. Beauty Bill, with that spooney manner of his, had his usual luck; he seemed so soft, that they tried a brother on him, but it did not fit; two can play at barking irons, and all that the affectionate brother got was a ball through both thighs.
