Mr.Buller the father is rather a clever man of sense, and particularly good-natured and gentlemanly; and his wife, who was a renowned beauty and queen of Calcutta, has still many striking and delicate traces of what she was.

I had seen some beautiful verses of hers, long before she was an actress; and her conversation is full of spirit and talent.
