Página 222 - I feel myself not a little influenced by a tender regard to my reputation here, even among my neighbours at Olney. Here are watch-makers, who themselves are wits, and who at present, perhaps, think me one. Here is a carpenter, and a baker ; and, not to mention others, here is your idol, Mr. , whose smile is fame.
