'There was no need to bespeak my Patience, nor anything but my Gratitude, on reading such a Letter as you have favoured me with. Indeed I admire it; and have reason to plume myself upon the Interest you take in my Story...from many passages in your Letters [I look upon you] as a Daughter of my own Mind'.

'I have read your Objections to Sir Charles's Divided Love to Mrs Donellan. Just her sentiments, she said. And Harriet's frequent declarations of her love, she also censured; and honours you for both Opinions. Miss Mulso exulted, by clapping her wings, as I may say, on your Ladyship's Censure of the divided Love. She admires every word you say by way of Censure or Objection'.
