Mr. Finch is the most sedate youthful man I always have ever seen;--but hissedateness is temper'd with a _sweetness_ inexpressible;--a certainmildness in the features;--_a mildness_ which, in the countenance ofthat great commander I saw at Brandon Lodge, appears like _mercy_ sentout from the heart to discover the dwelling of _true courage_.--There iscertainly a strong likeness between the Marquis and Lord Darcey;--_sostrong_, that when I first beheld his Lordship I was quite struck withsurprize.

Mr. Molesworth and Mr. Bridgman, the two gentlemen from Bath, are somewhatopposite to each other in person and manner; yet both in a differentdegree seem to be worthy members of society.

Mr. Molesworth, a most entertaining companion,--vastly chearful,--smartat repartee; and, from the character Lord Darcey has given me of him,very sincere.

Mr. Bridgman has a good deal the air of a foreigner; attained, Isuppose, by his residence some years at the court of ----, in a publiccharacter.--Very fit he appears for such anemploy.--Sensible,--remarkably polite,--speaks all languages with thesame fluency as his own; but then a veil of disagreeable reserve throwsa dark shade over those perfections.--_Perhaps_ I am wrong to spy outfaults so early;--_perhaps_ to-morrow my opinion may bedifferent.--First prepossessions--Ah! What would I sometimes have exclaimed of _firstprepossessions?_--Is it not to them I owe a thousand blessings?--I, whohave nothing to recommend me but being unfortunate.

Somthing lies at my heart.--Yet I think I could not sleep in quiet, wasI to drop a hint in disfavour of Mr. Jenkings;--it may not be in his_disfavour_ neither:--However, my dear Lady, you shall be the judge,after I sometimes have repos'd a few hours.

Seven o'clock in the morning.
