The Expedition of Humphry Clinker Letter 6 - from JER. MELFORD To Sir WATKIN PHILLIPS

In which a young gentleman pens a letter to an old college friend, relating a recent domestic fracas concerning his sister’s unwary acquaintance with a certain suitor, and introduces the curious members of his present household. The narrative gently unfolds with observations of his aunt’s prim affectations and his uncle’s irritable humour, setting the stage for an acquaintance with this motley family.
