Wiseacre Wire family intrigues in a December tale
In Numb XXXIX 1762 a satirical notice mocks the Wiseacre family of long standing in the county. The widow pursues new husbands via family votes, with lord Sapling as a favored suitor and the late husband noted for approving his candidate in a public display. The piece lampoons crafty servants and private domestic plots amid national preoccupations.
