 704 A VILLAGE PETE 
 
 The scene of merriment is in front of a large public-house, from the 
 window of which flies a flag with a figure of a warrior on it. A numer- 
 ous assemblage of peasantry extends over the greater part of the fore- 
 ground ; amongst them, and about the centre of the picture, is an old 
 man, mounted on a tub, placed by the side of a tree, playing on a bag- 
 pipe, and a couple dancing to the music. On the right side and front) 
 is a company of seven persons at a table, on which are refreshments ; one 
 of them is cutting a slice of ham, and another merry fellow is endeav- 
 ouring to embrace a young womau. In the opposite side is a variety 
 of culinary and other objects lying on the ground ; and at some distance 
 from these is a woman, leading off a drunken man through a doorway

 SO 715 PORTRAIT OF MRS. BALDWIN, nee Maltass, great aunt of /]!i^ 
 
 the late Dean Burgon ^ 
 
 From Strawberry Hill 
 
 " The extraordinary beauty of this lady created a great sensation both 
 at Vienna and in London, procured for her attentions from the Prince 
 of Wales, afterwards George IV., and elicited even from Dr. Johnson 
 a burst of clumsy amorousness." 
 
 " In all the pride of youth and beauty," writes her great nephew to 
 the ' Gentleman's Magazine ' " she was brought before the aged and 
 infirm sage whose curiosity had been aroused by the story of her 
 foreign birth, and residence in distant lands. Johnson asked her what 
 was the colour of the Abyssinians ? Mrs. Baldwin replied that she did 
 not know. ' But what colour do you think they are ? ' persisted the 
 author of ' Rasselas,' After some hesitation, and renewed professions 
 of utter ignorance on the subject, Mrs. Baldwin said that she supposed 
 they were brown. The doctor next said he should like to give her a 
 kiss ; and the husband's permission having been obtained, a kiss waa 
 formally inflicted. Mrs. Baldwin could never forget the forbidding 
 exterior of her Platonic admirer, and the servile adulation of his future 
 biographer." — Goulbourn's ' Life of Dean Burgon.'
