London. . . A gentleman in a highland dress, with the
bagpipes, came up to Mr. Wilkes at Mrs. Cornely's masquerade
and played two or three tunes to him.  Mr. Wilkes told him
if he played to all eternity he should never dance to the
bagpipe.  The Highlander asked to what musick he would
dance.  Mr. Wilkes answered, to any but the bagpipe and the
German flute.
