Boston, December 2. A correspondent has furnished us with
the following droll occurrence, viz. . . . a single
gentleman, and a married lady, the latter had a white satin
petticoat, which she took off, and carefully laid by until
the pastime should be finished. They had prepared to
receive each others mutual embraces, when unluckily for the
lady she uttered these words, "O my dear, I wish I could
have that tune played all night." "What tune my jewel?"
returned the amorous swain. "Why bobbin Joan," answered the
lady. The musician, unnoticed, had been very intent upon
their behavior all this time, and having his violin by him,
immediately rose up and played the before mentioned tune to
the no small astonishment of the gentleman and the lady; who
precipitately retired, the latter leaving the white satin
petticoat behind her, and the gentleman the covering to his
nakedness.
