from The Tobias Smollett Library · host Tobias Smollett

In which our hero departs from Ghent with a peculiar company, engaging in a spirited and sometimes fractious political dispute concerning recent battles and the illustrious Duke of Marlborough, much to the chagrin of his fair companion. An ornery mishap with their carriage at Alost provides a contrived excuse for prolonging their stay, during which the hero endeavours by artful means to secure private favour from his mistress amid the watchful eyes of others.
