LETTER IV DEAR MOTHER, For the last was to my father, in answer to his letter; and so I will now write to you; though I have nothing to say, but what will make me look more like a vain hussy, than any thing else: However, I hope I shan't be so proud as to forget myself.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 192   ~   ~   ~

You won't, hussy!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 196   ~   ~   ~

What a foolish hussy you are!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 200   ~   ~   ~

He was angry, and said, Who would have you otherwise, you foolish slut!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 623   ~   ~   ~

said he; You mind your pen more than your needle; I don't want such idle sluts to stay in my house.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 639   ~   ~   ~

Mrs. Jervis, said he, not speaking to me, I believe this little slut has the power of witchcraft, if ever there was a witch; for she enchants all that come near her.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 820   ~   ~   ~

Yet this is your doating-piece!-Well, for once, I'll submit myself to tell you, hussy, said he to me, you may stay a fortnight longer, till I see my sister Davers: Do you hear what I say to you, statue?

~   ~   ~   Sentence 827   ~   ~   ~

said he, why so you have, hussy; you have robbed me.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 841   ~   ~   ~

Do you hear, Mrs. Jervis, cried he again, how pertly I am interrogated by this saucy slut?

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,141   ~   ~   ~

I never felt the like before.-Said my master, with an imperious tone, Get out of my presence, hussy!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,939   ~   ~   ~

So I went towards the pond, the maid following me, and dropt purposely my hussy: and when I came near the tiles, I said, Mrs. Anne, I have dropt my hussy; be so kind as to look for it; I had it by the pond side.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,940   ~   ~   ~

She went back to look, and I slipt the note between the tiles, and covered them as quick as I could with the light mould, quite unperceived; and the maid finding the hussy, I took it, and sauntered in again, and met Mrs. Jewkes coming to see after me.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,993   ~   ~   ~

Come hither, hussy!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,998   ~   ~   ~

He came to me, (for I had no power to stir,) and put his arms about my neck, and would kiss me; and said, Well, Mrs. Jewkes, if it were not for the thought of this cursed parson, I believe in my heart, so great is my weakness, that I could not forgive this intriguing little slut, and take her to my bosom.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,322   ~   ~   ~

You little slut, how did you frighten me on Sunday night.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,824   ~   ~   ~

Artful slut!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,916   ~   ~   ~

I think, said he, half-smiling, you may wonder at my patience, that I can be so easy to read myself abused as I am by such a saucy slut.-Sir, said I, I have wondered you should be so desirous to see my bold stuff; and, for that very reason, I have thought it a very good, or a very bad sign.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,612   ~   ~   ~

Will you forgive the little vain slut, your daughter, if I tell you all, as he was pleased to tell me?

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,735   ~   ~   ~

They all seemed to stare; and Sir Simon said, No more nor less, I dare say, my good friend, but a bastard-child.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,982   ~   ~   ~

I went up soon after, and new dressed myself, taking possession, in a happy moment, I hope, of my two bundles, as my good master was pleased to call them; (alluding to my former division of those good things my lady and himself bestowed upon me;) and so put on fine linen, silk shoes, and fine white cotton stockings, a fine quilted coat, a delicate green Mantea silk gown and coat, a French necklace, and a laced cambric handkerchief, and clean gloves; and, taking my fan in my hand, I, like a little proud hussy, looked in the glass, and thought myself a gentlewoman once more; but I forgot not to return due thanks, for being able to put on this dress with so much comfort.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 5,988   ~   ~   ~

O sir, said I, and I could have kissed him, but for shame, (To be sure I shall grow a sad fond hussy,) I have not one single thing to wish for; no, not one!-He saluted me very kindly, and said, He should be sorry if I had, and forbore to speak it.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 6,083   ~   ~   ~

She asked her, it seemed, naughty lady as she is, if I was whored yet!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 6,275   ~   ~   ~

Is my kinsman and Lord Davers's to be thus used by such a slut?

~   ~   ~   Sentence 6,959   ~   ~   ~

And so, returned she, you say you are actually and really married, honestly, or rather foolishly married, to this slut?

~   ~   ~   Sentence 7,849   ~   ~   ~

what a chargeable and what a worthless hussy I am to the dear gentleman!-But his fortune and station require a great deal of it; and his value for me will not let him do less, than if he had married a fortune equal to his own: and then, as he says, it would be a reflection upon him, if he did.-And so I doubt it will be, as it is: For either way the world will have something to say.
