According to my promise I shall give my dearest niece an account of our wedding, which I am sure will be a satisfaction to all our kind friends, now assembled at Calwich...When breakfast was over the company dispersed for a little while, some to different rooms, some to the garden, and breakfast things removed, all met again and music took place. I tried and recollected some of my old tunes to set the rest agoing, then the Mr. Hamiltons brought fiddle and flute and played some very pretty sonatas together. Mrs. Gr. Hamilton plays very agreeably on the harpsichord, but particularly excels in country dances and minuets, which she plays so distinctly, and in such firm good time that it supplied the place of an excellent fiddler. |
