"Jones now walked down ftairs neatly drest, and perhaps the famed Adonis was not a lovelier figure; and yet he had no charms for my landlady: for as that good woman did not resemble Venus at all in her perfon, fo neither did fhe in her taste. Happy had it been for Nanny the chambermaid, if she had feen with the eyes of her Mistress; for that poor girl fell fo violently in love with Jones in five minutes, that her paffion afterwards cost her many a figh. This Nanny was extremely pretty, and altogether as coy; for fhe had refused a drawer, and one or two young farmers in the neighbourhood, but the bright eyes of our Hero thawed all her ice in a moment. When Jones returned to the kitchen, his cloth was not yet laid; nor indeed was there any occafion it fhould, his dinner remaining in ftatu quo', as did the fire which was to drefs it. This difappointment might have put many a philosophical temper into a paffion; but it had no fuch effect on Jones. He only gave the landlady a gentle rebuke, faying, "Since it was fo difficult to get it heated, دو he would eat the beef cold." But now the good woman, whether moved by compaffion, or by fhame, or by whatever other motive, I cannot tell, firft gave her fervants a round fcold for dif obeying the orders which fhe had never given, and then bidding the drawer lay a napkin in the fun, fhe fet about the matter in good earneft, and foon accomplished it. This fun into which Jones was now conducted, was truly named as Lucus a non lucendo; for it was an apartment into which the fun had fcarce ever looked. It was indeed the worst room in the house; and happy was it for Jones that is was fo. However he was now too hungry to find any fault; but having once fatisfied his appetite, he ordered the drawer to carry a bottle of wine into a better room, and expreffed some resentment at having been shown into a dungeon. The drawer having obeyed his commands, he was, after some time, attended by the barber; who would not indeed have fuffered him to wait fo long for his company, had he not been liftening in the kitchen to the landlady, who was entertaining a circle that she had gathered round her with the history of poor Jones, part of which she had extracted from his own lips, and the other part was her own ingenious compofition; " for fhe faid he was a poor parish-boy, taken into the house of Squire Allworthy, where he was bred up as », an apprentice, and now turned out of doors for his misdeeds, particularly for making love to his » young Mistress, and probably for robbing the » houfe; for how elfe fhould he come by the little » money he has.

"Nay, ,, Sir," anfwered Benjamin, "I would not be troublefome ; and I hope you don't think me a man of an impertinent curiofity, for that is a vice which nobody can lay to my charge; but I ask pardon, for when a gentleman of your figure travels without his fervants, we may suppose him to be, as we fay, in cafu incognito, and perhaps I ,, ought not to have mentioned your name." “ I fays Jones, "I did not expect to have been fo well known in this country as I find I ,, am; yet, for particular reafons, I fhall be obliged to you if you will not mention my name to , any other perfon, till I am gone from hence. دو دو כ, دو دو ❞ own, وو |
