In the evening, a large party at home. Gow, the Scotch fiddler, a second fiddle, and a harp, came to us at half-past nine, and played some Scotch airs to my father. Afterwards, when more people came, I proposed a reel to Lady Charlotte Campbell, and began with her myself, to set the others a-going, and then, in the same way, a country dance; but the English people, as usual, were shy, though there were four or five excellent couples standing by. Fifty people—nineteen women and thirty-one men—came; twelve supped in the back room, and six or eight in the front room; everybody seemed pleased, and some men who came late were not gone at two o'clock in the morning. Gow's music cost me three guineas.
