Miss Charlotte M-th-s

Here a very genteel figure unites with a beautiful countenance, heightened with a lovely dark complexion, dark hair and expressive eyes of the same colour. She is about nineteen, and her teeth are also regular and white, which greatly decorate, when a smile takes place, the most lovely pouting lips that eyes can behold. This lady appears conscious of her own consequence, charms, and attractions, and often gives herself some airs that were better laid aside, for pride and haughtiness in the finest woman cannot fail of being disagreeable. It is true she has a very genteel set of visiters, who pay proper attention to her extraordinary agreemens; and she will not suffer a plebeian, or a tradesman to be introduced to her, as she soars at nobility, and expects soon to be taken into keeping by a certain duke, who appears very fond of her; but as it is necessary he should get rid of his present mistress with some degree of decency, this desired event is not perhaps so near at hand, as Miss M may wish for.

In the mean while she is obliged to yield to her Captain and a few others, who, though upon the bon ton, seldom present her with more than five guineas; a circumstance that greatly mortifies her, as she thinks her charms far surpass those of most of her sister-hood; and yet she cannot mount a carriage without running into debt, which she carefully avoids. It is true she has been sollicited by more than one coach-maker for her custom, who have at the same time hinted that they should not press her tor payment, but take their bills when-ever it should be suitable to her; yet she has had the fortitude to resist their entreaties, saying, “the time will soon come when she shall have it in her power to pay ready money, and she shall then roll in her carriage entirely at her ease.”
