Excerpt from Memoirs of Miss. C. E. Cary (Written by Herself), Who Was Retained in the Service of the Late Queen Caroline, to Fill the Situation in Her Majesty's Household Next to Lady Anne Hamilton, Vol. 2 of 3: Containing Interesting Anecdotes of Some of the First Persons in This Country, and an Exposition of the Recrimination With those females I should not interfere; but since my alleged crime was, having preferred inte; grity in obscurity, and for a time in poverty, rather than fortune with vice; my name answered all that premeditated plans could desire; and after the death of Mr. Monk, Sir Richard Croft, and others, it was ingeniously circulated, that I had originally been in the lowest situations. My ao quaintance, and the constant invitation I gave the Marchioness, her daughter, and her nephew, whom I generally selected as my escort, created so much enmity and jealousy, that it was often hinted that I preferred constantly inviting strangers, than those connected with my own family. How far could I own that family? I shall only say, that the Marquis of Hertford's proofs of the conduct of ex alted ladies, alienated my heart wholly from those whom I considered as friends; but I was young and inexperienced. I knew not the heart of man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
