This letter was signed with the name of an apothecary's wife, who lived in
Chelsea, of whom I had heard Odonnell was an admirer. - Every thing succeeded to
our wish. - The amorous hero hastened towards the place of assignation; and was
encountered by us in the very place where he had assaulted me. - We rushed upon
him all at once, secured his sword, stript off his cloaths even to the skin,
which we scourged with nettles till he was blistered from head to foot,

the news, gave information to those who found his cloaths next day, whither to
bring them; and accordingly he retrieved every thing he had lost, except a few
letters, among which was that which I had wrote to him in the name of the
apothecary's wife. - This and the others, which (it seems) were all on the
