Since the death of her worthy husband, and the comfortable settlement in life of her youngest daughter, Miss Jenny, who was married last year to MR Caption, writer to the signet, she has been, as she told us herself, 'beeking in the lown o' the conquest which the gudeman had, w'i sic an ettling o'pains and industry, gathered for his family." - from the Introduction.
