The Grove, for so was the mansion of Mrs. Percival at Chetwynde denominated, was situated within five miles from Exeter, but though that lady possessed a carriage and horses of her own, it was seldom that Catharine could prevail on her to visit that town for the purpose of shopping, on account of the many officers perpetually quartered there and who infested the principal streets. A company of strolling players on their way from some neighbouring races having opened a temporary theatre there, Mrs. Percival was prevailed on by her niece to indulge her by attending the performance once during their stay. Mrs. Percival insisted on paying Miss Dudley the compliment of inviting her to join the party, when a new difficulty arose, from the necessity of having some gentleman to attend them.
