eleven o'clock
Lady Madge Stanley , my good aunt , Lady Crawford , and myself do intend journeying to Derby-town to-morrow . My aunt , Lady Crawford , is slightly ill , and although I should much regret to see her sickness grow greater , yet if ill she must be , I do hope that her worst day will be upon the morrow , in which case she could not accompany Lady Madge and me . I shall nurse my good aunt carefully this day , and shall importune her to take plentifully of physic that she may quickly recover her health -- after to-morrow . Should a gentleman ask of Will Dawson , who will be in the tap-room of the Royal Arms at eleven o'clock of the morning , Dawson will be glad to inform the gentleman concerning Lady Crawford 's health . Let us hope that the physic will cure Lady Crawford -- by the day after to-morrow at furthest . The said Will Dawson may be trusted . With great respect , DOROTHY VERNON . ' ''
