Force of my Charms, and from several Blushes and side Glances, concluded himself the Favourite; and when I used him like a Dog for my Diversion, he thought it was all Prudence and Fear, and pitied the Violence I did my own Inclinations to comply with my Friends, when I marry’d Sir Nicholas Fribble of Sixty Years of Age.  You know, Sir, the Case of Mrs. Medlar, I hope you would not have had me cry out my Eyes for such a Husband.  I shed Tears enough for my Widowhood a Week after my Marriage, and when he was put in his Grave, reckoning he had been two Years dead, and my self a Widow of that Standing, I married three Weeks afterwards John Sturdy, Esq., his next Heir.  I had indeed some Thoughts of taking Mr. Waitfort, but I found he could stay, and besides he thought it indecent to ask me to marry again ’till my Year was out, so privately resolving him for my Fourth, I took Mr. Sturdy for the present.  Would you believe it, Sir, Mr. Sturdy was just Five and Twenty, about Six Foot high, and the stoutest Fox-hunter in the Country, and I believe I wished ten thousand times for my old Fribble again; he was following his Dogs all the Day, and all the Night keeping them up at Table with him and his Companions:  however I think my self obliged to them for leading him a Chase in which he broke his Neck.  Mr. Waitfort began his Addresses anew, and I verily believe I had married him now, but there was a young Officer in the Guards, that had debauched two or three of my Acquaintance, and I could not forbear being a little vain of his Courtship.  Mr. Waitfort heard of it, and read me such an insolent Lecture upon the Conduct of Women, I married the Officer that very Day, out of pure Spight to him.  Half an Hour after I was married I received a Penitential Letter from the Honourable Mr. Edward Waitfort, in which he begged Pardon for his Passion, as proceeding from the Violence of his Love:  I triumphed when I read it, and could not help, out of the Pride of my Heart, shewing it to my new Spouse:  and we were very merry together upon it.  Alas! my Mirth lasted a short time; my young Husband was very much in Debt when I marry’d him, and his first Action afterwards was to set up a gilt Chariot and Six, in fine Trappings before and behind.  I had married so hastily, I had not the Prudence to reserve my Estate in my own Hands; my ready Money was lost in two Nights at the Groom Porter’s; and my Diamond Necklace, which was stole I did not know how, I met in the Street upon Jenny Wheadle’s Neck.  My Plate vanished Piece by Piece, and I had been reduced to downright Pewter, if my Officer had not been deliciously killed in a Duel, by a Fellow that had cheated him of Five Hundred Pounds, and afterwards, at his own Request, satisfy’d him and me too, by running him through the Body.  Mr. Waitfort was still in Love, and told me so again; and to prevent all Fears of ill Usage, he desir’d me to reserve every thing in my
