Which they do, this Autumn, 1736; and fairly commence Joint Housekeeping, in a permanent manner.

Hitherto it has been intermittent only: hitherto the Crown-Princess has resided in their Berlin Mansion, or in her own Country-house at Schonhausen; Husband not habitually with her, except when on leave of absence from Ruppin, in Carnival time or for shorter periods.

At Ruppin his life has been rather that of a bachelor, or husband abroad on business; up to this time.

But now at Reinsberg they do kindle the sacred hearth together; "6th August, 1736," the date of that important event.

They have got their Court about them, dames and cavaliers more than we expected; they have arranged the furnitures of their existence here on fit scale, and set up their Lares and Penates on a thrifty footing.
