We hear from Broadway in Gloucestershire, Jan. 31. that last
week, a fidler who had been playing here pretty late, stept
into a barn to take a nap; and was no sooner laid down, but
in came a man and a woman, who presently struck a bargain,
and agreed, the one to pull off her hoop-petticoat, and the
other his breeches. When they had done their business, the
fidler strikes up the Black Joke, which they thought was the
Devil come to play them a tune, so that they both run, the
woman without her hoop, and the man without his breeches, in
which was 50 s. and a silver watch. The fidler had both
cry'd, but no body owns them.
