She comments with a smirk on his ignorance of the geography of the Peninsula, and she gives in detail a descrip- tion of visit paid to her by the great soldier after one of his vic tories when the Duke of Argyle was already enjoying her company: At this very moment, a thunder- ing rap at the door was heard.
"Vive l'amour! Vivo In.guerre, said Argyle: Lo voila! And hastily throwing my dressing gown over his shoulders, and putting on one of my old nightcaps, having previously desired my man servant not to let anybody in, put his head out of my bed-room window, which was on the second floor; and soon recognised the noble chieftain, Wel- lington! Endeavouring to imitate the voice of an old duenna, Argyla begged to know who was at the door?

"How delicious this is,' said the Colonel.
"I never saw anything so beau- tiful,' echoed Sophia.
"I remarked that I was a little giddy.

"In less than an hour, I men- tioned that the air of the river bad given me an appetite, and Sophie, of course, had never been so hungry in all her life!"
