Removal to the country--Walk in the forest--Equality At length my wish of obtaining a house in the country was gratified.

A very pretty cottage, the residence of a gentleman who was removing into town, for the convenience of his business as a lawyer, was to let, and I immediately secured it.

It was situated in a little village about a mile and a half from the town, close to the foot of the hills formerly mentioned as the northern boundary of it.

We found ourselves much more comfortable here than in the city.

The house was pretty and commodious, our sitting-rooms were cool and airy; we had got rid of the detestable mosquitoes, and we had an ice-house that never failed.
