I any thing could make Ld could be madeL proved or& same it would be Miss P. A

I had a curiositty to see Sr J. H. bagatelle and his stile of living
in it. Ld L who has an insidious when political<add>politics arecapacity
it ever busy knack way at divining what from
situations circumstances & what will be acceptable to his friends, conceived as much
though I had never let drop the smallest hint of it. Sr J. gave me
a second and serious invitation to Lisbon, but would not have given me
a dinner in England if he had not been forced to it. Sir J. when
to givegiving the invitation to Ld L. classt them: Ld L. added and Mr
B. Lady H. after the invitation added introduced<add>gave the appendage Mr A. of her own
accord, and I believe without having heard what passed before

have sometimes sit to on one night for aught I

than comply? and when a mans foot steps and breaks the ice, how are apt
are lead and care to follow?
