Jane was by this time so well settled, that she thought herself quite above the world.

            But soon after a young gentleman in a green frock, laced with gold, happened to call at her house: his person was so genteel, and his manner so engaging, that Jane, though not very susceptable of the passion of love, was greatly smitten with him; so Jane lay with the young fellow that night: and he acquitted himself so much to her satisfaction, that she would willingly have laid with him the whole week.

            But, alas, outward appearances are not to be trusted to: Jenny the next morning found her pockets emptied of forty guineas; and being excessive thirsty in the morning, she called for a pint of negus. Betty could not immediately find the tankard, so Jane D––ned her for a good for nothing b––ch. But the poor girl was quite innocent; for Mother D––s's young gallant had made off with the plate, and quite forgot to pay his reckoning.
