London, October 27. About three months ago, a Mr. B. who
lived in Poland-street, Soho, hired a maid, as servant to
him; but before she had been long in his house she so far
insinuated herself into his favour as to pass for his niece;
and he, like a good uncle, sent her to a dancing-school, &c.
She was no longer maid, but had a servant hired to attend
her. However, whether the age (for he was only ninety) or
the face of her keeper did not please her, or whether she
wanted to return to dear Covent-Garden against the winter
(in which, it seems, she had been famous) is not known; but
within these few days she eloped . . .
