When Mr L said - "Ah Miss Hannah is it you? How do you do? Who is that young lady on the single horse before you'. Miss Longsdon I told him on which he galloped to overtake and speak to her". In short conversation accused him of ingratitude for ignoring her distress when she thought him dead and her delight when found him alive expressed in her letter to his wife. Mr L spurred off saying first time he had been accused of ingratitude - [Feminine fuss - storm in a tea cup]. 11 Feb 1811
