Side 110 - His virtues walked their narrow round, Nor made a pause, nor left a void; And sure the eternal Master found The single talent well employ'd.
Side 111 - Small joints, I believe, they manage with a string, and larger are done at the tavern. I have some thoughts (with a profound gravity) of buying a jack, because I think a jack is some credit to a house.

Side 485 - Mrs. Thrale went early to town, to meet all the executors, and Mr. Barclay, the Quaker,* who was the bidder. She was in great agitation of mind, and told me if all went well she would wave a white pocket-handkerchief out of the coach window.
