Сторінка 25 - tis his fancy to run; At night he reclines on his Thetis's breast. So when I am wearied with wandering all day, To thee, my delight, in the evening I come: No matter what beauties I saw in my way: They were but my visits, but thou art my home.
Сторінка 69 - My dear Louisa, you will laugh when I tell you that poor Winifred, who was reduced to be my gentlewoman's gentlewoman, broke two laces in endeavouring to draw my new French stays close. You know I am naturally small at bottom. But now you might literally span me. You never saw such a doll. Then, they are so intolerably wide across the breast that my arms are absolutely sore with them; and my sides so pinched!
Сторінка 49 - Laura's image cross'd reflection's eye. My dear lov'd Laura! from my youth began .... The tender flame, and ripen'd in the man. My dear lov'd Laura ! till my latest age No future passion shall my vows engage.

He gave me a list of their names as he laid them on...
Сторінка 136 - ... do not suppose my happiness proceeds from my being married, any further than that I enjoy title, rank and liberty, by bearing Lord Besford's name. We do not disagree because we seldom meet. He pursues his pleasure one way, I seek mine another, and our dispositions being very opposite, they are sure never to interfere with each other. I am, I give you my word, a very unexceptionable wife and can say, what few women of quality would be able to do that spoke truth, that I never indulged myself with...

Сторінка 98 - I fupport the reflec" tion, that all I am worth in the world I " owe to you ? But to you the world owes " all the charms it has in my eyes. " We will not, however, talk of debtor " and creditor, but permit me to make " up in adoration what I want in wealth. " Fortune attends the brave. — I will there...
