William Chaigneau : The History of Jack Connor

Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter [c. July 1752, following illness with fever]: 'What have I been doing since I came here [a 'pretty place in Surry']? giving trouble and reading idle books to while away the hours of prescribed solitude [...] Dear, dear, with what companions have I been spending my lonely hours! Arlequin, a stupidissima Princess Mesirida, an infamous Con. Philips, and a ten times more profligate Jack Connor!'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Catherine Talbot      Print: Book
