Note 22 — RECRUITING AT CASTLEBAR.

Both Mr. Jenning’s daughters were pretty and pleasant girls. I observed Miss Betty mending silk stockings, which was rather odd at the plains of Kilcommon. I told her I fancied she was kind-hearted, and had an uncommon degree of sense for her years, and she firmly believed me. I made her a present of the “Sentimental Journey,” which I had in my coat-case. I construed the French for her (except two words): and on my return she told me it had taught her what sentiment was; that she found she had a great deal of sentiment herself, but did not know the name of it before; and that she would always keep the book in kind remembrance of the donor.
