The Batchelor's Estimate of the Expences of a Married Life.
Being an answer to a proposal of marrying a lady with 2000
L. fortune. . . [1/2 column listing various expenses]
Coach, Watermen and Chair Hire, for my wife to make
visits, take the air, to see Plays, &c. at a reasonable and
yearly computation,
Her expences at these diversions. 3 L. 10 s.
I now seldom go to see a play in a season, I must in
complaisance to my wife, sometimes wait on her, and partake
of those entertainments (for I don't think it proper she
should go alone) which I will moderately compute at 1 L. 10
s.
