Σελίδα 212 - His unusual dress and figure, when he was in London, never failed to draw after him a great crowd of boys and other young people, who constantly attended at his lodgings, and followed him with huzzas as he went to court or returned from it. As he was a man of humour, he would always thank them for their civilities, when he left them at the door to go...
Σελίδα 270 - He bears the gallantries of his lady with the indifference of a Stoic ; and thinks them well recompensed by a return of children to support his family, without the fatigues of being a father.
