The Pilgrim is sorry Miss Flutter was pleased with a comedy
she did not understand, and he hereby prohibits her from
ever attending plays 'til she is able to collect a number of
useful morals and rational sentiments from what she sees and
hears; and can convince her friends that she returns from
that species of diversion better and wiser than she went.
As to Eugene, the French comedy, it is a pity any lady or
gentleman of condition should be ignorant of the polite
language it is written in, especially as these states are at
this day so nearly connected with the subjects of the grand
marquee, and their union and friendship daily more closely
cementing.
. . . [Paragraph continues on the need to avoid diversions
in time of trouble]
