Description
Excerpt: About the beginning of the last June (as near as I can remember) Bellamora came to Town from Hampshire; and was oblig?d to lodge the first Night at the same Inn where the Stage?Coach set up. The next Day she took Coach for Covent?Garden, where she thought to find Madam Brightly, a Relation of her?s; with whom she design?d to continue for about half a Year undiscover?d, if possible, by her Friends iin theCountry: And order?d therefore her Trunk, with her Cloaths, and most of her Money and Jewels, to be brought after her to Madam Brightly?s, by a strange Porter whom she spoke to in the Street as she was taking Coach; being utterly unacquainted with the neat Practices of this fine City. When she came to Bridges?street, where inded her Cousin had lodged near three or four Years since; she was strangely surpriz?d that she cou?d not learn any thing of her; no, nor so much as meet with any one that had ever heard of her Cousin?s Name. Till, at last, describing Madam Brightly to one of the house?keepers in that place, he told her, that there was such a kind of Lady, whom he had sometimes seen there about a Year and a half ago.
