One day, on leaving a breakfast-parly, she claimed a carriage in this way, told the footman tha t she took it by his mistress's orders, kept it out the whole afternoon, and then on meeting the owner, who had been put to great inconvenience by the loss of her carriage and footman, exclaimed : " I wish you would have the steps of your carriage altered.
