Сторінка xix - But you must mention the business to Reynolds yourself; for I will tell you why I cannot. He has already painted a very excellent portrait of me, which, when I went to pay him for, he desired me to accept, as a tribute, to use his own elegant and flattering expression, that his heart wished to pay to my genius. That man's way of thinking and manners, are at least equal to his pencil.
Сторінка 23 - The scene is the committee ; on the table are the instruments of torture. A prisoner in rags half starved appears before them ; the poor man has a good countenance that adds to the interest. On the other hand is the inhuman gaoler.
