Side 14 - I mean to speak of him in the language of our art. To speak then of Vanbrugh in the language of a Painter, he had originality of invention, he understood light and shadow, and had great skill in composition.
Side 277 - Or of a rival. But pray, say no more on't for fear I change my mind. For o' my conscience, were't not for your affair in the balance, I should go near to pick up some odious man of quality yet, and only take poor Heartfree for a gallant. Lady Brute.

Side 69 - Why do you repeat my words, my dear ? Aman. Because you seemed to speak them with such pleasure, I thought I might oblige you with their echo.
