Seite 220 - We all agreed that the life of a Maid of Honour was of all things the most miserable : and wished that every woman who envied it, had a specimen of it. To eat Westphalia ham in a morning, ride over hedges and ditches on borrowed hacks, come home in the heat of the day with a fever, and (what...
