Mrs. Fairfax was summoned to give information respecting the resources of the house in shawls, dresses, draperies of any kind; and certain wardrobes of the third storey were ransacked, and their contents, in the shape of brocaded and hooped petticoats, satin sacques, black modes, lace lappets, &c., were brought down in armfuls by the abigails; then a selection was made, and such things as were chosen were carried to the boudoir within the drawing-room.
Mrs. Fairfax megmondta, merre tárolják a ruhákat, hol találhatnak a hölgyek mindenféle ruhát, kendőt, selymet, bársonyt. A második emeleti szekrényeket már át is kutatták, és tartalmukat, hímzett krinolinok, fekete gallérok, csipke főkötők stb. formájában, halomszámra cipelték le a komornák.
