One o'clock
Mr. Thomas is returned from you , my dear father , with the good news of your health , and your proceeding in your journey to my dear mother , where I hope to hear soon you are arrived . My master has just now been making me play upon the spinnet , and sing to it ; and was pleased to commend me for both . But he does so for every thing I do , so partial does his goodness make him to me . One o'clock . We are just returned from an airing in the chariot ; and I have been delighted with his conversation upon English authors , poets particularly . He entertained me also with a description of some of the curiosities he had seen in Italy and France , when he made what the polite world call the grand tour . He said he wanted to be at his other seat , for he knew not well how to employ himself here , having not proposed to stay half the time : And when I get there , Pamela , said he , you will hardly be troubled with so much of my company , after we have settled ; for I have a great many things to adjust : And I must go to London ; for I have accounts that have run on longer than ordinary with my banker there .
