He was at Dr Burney's one night, sir," said she, talking to Mr Lawrence, "when a famous Italian singer of that day—who was it now?—she was as yellow as a guinea, and her hoops were so large there were many doors she could not pass through—who was it now?

"Oh, why did you come over at all?","Pray don't ask it," said Isabella, better informed by Etwald's glance as to his purpose.
