SICILY AND MALTA. 305
specimen of some of our ridicules, in one
of their opera dances, with which we have
been a good deal entertained.
I believe I told you that the dancers
are lately come from England: they have
brought upon the stage many of the capi-
tal London characters:—The bucks, the
maccaronies, the prigs, the cits, and some
others still more respedtable : these are well
supported, and afford a good deal of laugh-
ing. But I am interrupted, otherwise I
should have given you a more particular
account of them. Adieu. The heat is
intolerable; and there is no possibility of
walking out."—We complain without reason
of our own climate; and King Charles's
observation I am persuaded was just; " That
there is hardly any climate, where, through-
out the year, we can have so much exercise
in the open air."
Ever yours.
