I always expected that my article would put her into a passion, and I was not mistaken; but she has come round again, and sent me a most pressing and kind invitation the other day.
I have been racketing lately, having dined twice with Rogers, and once with Grant.

Lady Holland is in a most extraordinary state.

She came to Rogers's, with Allen, in so bad a humour that we were all forced to rally, and make common cause against her.

There was not a person at table to whom she was not rude; and none of us were inclined to submit.
Rogers sneered; Sydney made merciless sport of her.

Tom Moore looked excessively impertinent; Bobus put her down with simple straightforward rudeness; and I treated her with what I meant to be the coldest civility.
