Página 31 - Leicester house expecting a small company and a little music, but found nobody but her royal highness. She made me draw a stool and sit by the fire-side. Soon after came in the prince of Wales and prince Edward, and then the lady Augusta, all in an undress, and took their stools and sat round the fire with us. We continued talking of familiar occurrences till between ten and eleven, with the ease and unreservedness and unconstraint, as if one had dropped into- a sister's house that had a family,...

She had been so unhealthy, that at that age she had not been taught to read, but had learned the part of Lucia by hearing the others study their parts. She went to her father and mother, and begged she might act They put her off as gently as they could — she desired leave to repeat her part, and when she did, it was with so much sense, that there...
Página 16 - ... loving master, were forced to bespeak a great cold dinner from a common tavern in the neighbourhood. At three o'clock indeed, they vouchsafed to think of a dinner, and ordered one— but the disgrace was complete, the tavern dinner was paid for, and given to the poor.
Página 9 - As I am a friend to liberty in general, and to toleration in particular, I wish you may meet with all proper favour ; but for myself, I never gave my vote in parliament ; and to influence my friends, or direct my servants in theirs, does not become my station.
