Mrs Cl-w

A pretty middle sized woman; she has a very engaging face; her hair is red; her eye large, blue, and sparkling; her mouth small, with a fine set of teeth; her leg and foot very neat, and her carriage genteel, easy, and elegant.

She is naturally full of vivacity, which is improved by a visit to France, from whence she has lately returned full of life and spirit.

Her knowledge of the world, joined to her good sense, makes her charm with her conversation, and renders her at all times a pleasing companion.

Her jeux d'esprit are not confined to the table; for she is said to have a practical excellence in them in another place; and as there is a kind of mechanical wit which some people are only capable of exercising, so this lady is a perfect mistress of all the jeu de lit, and is even content when she has got a master of arts, to become the butt for him to try his powers on; and thus, like Falstaff, is not only, Pleasing in herself, but the cause of pleasure in others. She is about twenty-four, keeps the house, and is said to be kept in it by a good friend, —in whose absence any gentleman with three or four spare guineas in his pocket, may always be sure of a hearty welcome.
