Her Covent Garden Ladies Entry:

No quote.

This lady's complexion is dark, as well as her eyes and hair. Her teeth are regular and white. She is very affable and engaging in her disposition, and calls forth all her powers to give delight, with uncommon success; her age is eighteen, and her entrance into life is about eight months. She is a great dreamer, and frequently entertains her friends with her reveries, which are generally romantic and whimsical. She has been for sometime wavering with respect to religion, and a certain methodist preacher has taken great pains to make a convert of her, but a Roman Catholic priest, who visits her a la sourdine, countermines in the evening all his rival's operations in the morning; so that between Methodism and Popery, she is a skiff upon the ocean tossed, and cannot find a safe port to anchor in. She is however pretty well known to be in keeping by a clergyman, who is dotingly fond of her, and in whose absence only, is she comeatable, at the moderate price of two or three guineas.
