a quarter before three
Lord DARCEY to the Honourable GEORGE MOLESWORTH . _ Barford Abbey _ . Prepare your ten pieces , George ! -- Upon my honour , I was at Barford Abbey a quarter before three , notwithstanding a detention on the road by Lord Michell and Flecher , driving on Jehu for Bath , in his Lordship 's phaeton and fix . -- You have seen them before this , -- and , I suppose , know their errand . -- The girl is an egregious fool , that is certain . -- I warrant there are a hundred bets depending .
