the season. After this Morgan left, and succeeded 

 Stevens in Warwickshire. 



Lord Southampton entertained very largely ; 

 many of the single noblemen came, and brought 

 their hunters to the village of Whittlebury, and 

 stayed some time. The present Lord Cork, the 

 late Lord Portsmouth, Lord Somerton, Mr. W. 

 Craven, a good man over the country, and the 

 late Lord Rosslyn. There was always a capital 

 party. My lord lectured pretty much, but he was 

 very jolly for all that. If it happened that an 

 extra dressing fell to my share, he always rode 

 home with me afterwards, if he could. I told Lord 

 John Scott that I would rather be blown up by 

 Lord Southampton than praised by half the 

 people !
