The author also records her private thoughts, writing in 1744, "Have lost my dear family. My Lord & Ladies set out this morn for Cuddesden...had several & various employments & sitting up which they knew not about. All over now: am always grieveing when they go." Elsewhere, she writes, "Went this morning to the wedding. Was Bride maid. No other company beside the father who says its our turn next. This fills my head full of whimseys but shall soon get the better of it."
