Strona 199 - Persons of his Court or Travellers are invited : It is supplied with English and French Cookery, French and Italian Wines, but I took notice that the PRETENDER Eat only of the English Dishes, and made his Dinner of Roast Beef and what we call Devonshire Pye : He also prefers our March Beer, which he has from Leghorn, to the best Wines.
Strona 429 - ... the produce of his labour; there is little doing in his house in which his affections can be interested, and but little left in it which he can love. I have two neighbours, a man and his wife, both upwards of eighty years of age; they live alone; the husband has been confined to his bed many months and has never had, nor till within these few weeks has ever needed, any body to attend to him but his wife. She has recently been seized with a lameness which has often prevented her from being able...
Strona 336 - I am as busy in three inches of gardening as any man can be in threescore acres. I fancy myself like the fellow that spent his life in cutting ye twelve apostles in one cherry stone. I have a Theatre, an Arcade, a Bowling-green, a Grove, & what not...
Strona 449 - Mordanto fills the trump of fame, The Christian world his deeds proclaim, And prints are crowded with his name. In journies he outrides the post, Sits up till midnight with his host, Talks politics, and gives the toast.
