Our landlord, as he was guiding us over the Frith, very innocently asked how much a
year we got by preaching thus. This gave me an opportunity of explaining to him that kind
of gain which he seemed utterly a stranger to. He appeared to be quite amazed and spake
not one word, good or bad, till he took his leave.
Presently after he went, my mare stuck fast in a quagmire, which was in the midst of the high road. But we could well excuse this; for the road all along, for nearly fifty miles after, was such as I never saw any natural road, either in England or Ireland; nay, far better, notwithstanding the continued rain, than the turnpike road between London and Canterbury.
