Mrs Tabitha immediately rose, and, throwing her arms about his
neck, kissed him on the cheek: he returned her embrace with great
emotion. Liddy sobbed, Win. Jenkins cackled, Chowder capered, and
Clinker skipped about, rubbing his hands for joy of this
reconciliation.
Concord being thus restored, we finished our meal with comfort;
and in the evening arrived at London, without having met with any
other adventure. My aunt seems to be much mended by the hint she
received from her brother. She has been graciously pleased to
remove her displeasure from Clinker, who is now retained as a
footman; and in a day or two will make his appearance in a new
suit of livery; but as he is little acquainted with London, we
have taken an occasional valet, whom I intend hereafter to hire
as my own servant. We lodge in Goldensquare, at the house of one
Mrs Notion, a decent sort of a woman, who takes great pains to
make us all easy. My uncle proposes to make a circuit of all the
remarkable scenes of this metropolis, for the entertainment of
his pupils; but as both you and I are already acquainted with
most of those he will visit, and with some others he little
dreams of, I shall only communicate what will be in some measure
new to your observation.
