 | Letters of Mrs. Adams, |  |
Tuesday Morning.
Determined to tarry at home to-day, and see company.
Mr. Joy came in and spent an hour. He is
40
that bashful diffidence is supplied by manly confidence,
and acquaintance with the world has given
ease and politeness to his manners. He really is
quite the accomplished gentleman, bears a very good
character, has made a great deal of money, and
married a Yorkshire lady of handsome fortune
about three months since. He again repeated his
invitation to me to dine with him, accompanied by
Mr. Smith. To-morrow, I go. Many gentlemen
have called upon me this forenoon, so that I have
only time to dress before dinner, which I order at an
earlier hour than the London fashion. At three is
my hour, and breakfast at nine. I cannot dine
earlier, because from nine till three I am subject
to company. From the hours of three till five and
six, I am generally alone, or only Mr. Smith, or Mr.
Storer here, to whom I am never denied. The servant
will frequently come and ask me if I am at
home.
