-- Charles Dennison has promised to stay with
him a fortnight, to set him fairly afloat in his improvements;
and Jack Wilson will see him from time to time; besides, he has a
few friends in the country, whom his new plan of life will not
exclude from his society. -- In less than a year, I make no doubt,
but he will find himself perfectly at ease both in his mind and
body, for the one had dangerously affected the other; and I shall
enjoy the exquisite pleasure of seeing my friend rescued from
misery and contempt.
Mrs Willis being determined to return with her daughter, in a few
days, to Gloucester, our plan has undergone some alteration. Jery
has persuaded his brother-in-law to carry his wife to Bath; and I
believe his parents will accompany him thither. -- For my part, I
have no intention to take that route. -- It must be something very
extraordinary that will induce me to revisit either Bath or
London. -- My sister and her husband, Baynard and I, will take
leave of them at Gloucester, and make the best of our way to
Brambleton hall, where I desire you will prepare a good chine and
turkey for our Christmas dinner. -- You must also employ your
medical skill in defending me from the attacks of the gout, that
I may be in good case to receive the rest of our company, who
promise to visit us in their return from the Bath.
