Ou peut-on etre mieux qu'au sein de sa famille ?--French Song.

[Where can on be better than in the bosom of one's family ?] I am an only child.

My father was the younger son of one of our oldest earls; my mother the dowerless daughter of a Scotch peer.

Mr.Pelham was a moderate whig, and gave sumptuous dinners; Lady Frances was a woman of taste, and particularly fond of diamonds and old china.
Vulgar people know nothing of the necessaries required in good society, and the credit they give is as short as their pedigree.

Six years after my birth, there was an execution in our house.
