TO CHARLES MANNERS ST. GEORGE, ESQ.
London, April 19, 1820.
I met Rogers and Jekyll at Roehampton; a pleasant duo, who keep time and tune together, and, in the language of musicians, mark their points. Take a fragment of Rogers:—
So, Mr. Wilmot, you are going to the Duchess of ——’s?
Mr. Wilmot.—Yes, immediately.
R.—How fat you’ll grow.
Mr. W.—Fat, how so?
R.—You will sleep so much. They go to bed so early.
Mr. W.—No, I never go to bed early.
R.—You will, indeed.
