Started at three o’clock for Farley Abbey (Colonel Houlton’s place) […] Went in my little gig as far as Trowbridge, and took a chaise from thence; did the four miles in less than twenty minutes. Company at dinner (besides their three fine girls and John Houlton), Colonel Davy, Mr. Elwyn of Bath, and a Mr. Langford. […] Young Houlton and the third girl sung, in the evening, Cimarosa’s duet of “Se non credi” very well; and Isabella played some airs on a two- stringed guitar beautifully. I tried to sing, but the pianoforte so loud and harsh that I could not manage it. |
