There's Blair's 'Sermons' in the attic, and Hervey's 'Meditations Among the Tombs. They are a bit dusty, perhaps, but you won't object to that, for they are full of wholesome and cheerful reading." "Thank you," returned Bessie, undisturbed by this light banter.
Are you privately married to him? If you be not for my sake for your own for Mr. Vincent's do not write till we see the contents of Clarence Hervey's packet." "It can make no alteration in what I write," said Belinda. "Well, my dear, write what you please; but I only hope you will not send your letter till the packet arrives."
These peaks Captain Flinders made an excursion to examine, and from the summit of one obtained an extended view over the surrounding country, nothing novel, however, being seen. At Hervey's Bay, too, the only additional information gained, was of a nautical character, the natives seeming to be the most interesting objects met with.
Once he was on the point of shouting advice to Hervey about what to do in the unlikely event of his reaching the nest before the eagle, or in the more serious contingency of an encounter with that armed warrior.

I am forced to live much with tout ça, as they are perpetually at my Lady Hervey's; and as my Lord Hertford goes ambassador to Paris, where I shall certainly make him a visit next year don't you think I shall be computing how far it is to Florence?
I acknowledge that Fanny is an excellent marchioness, and Lord Castleton an incomparable marquis. But, Blanche! if I can win thy true, simple heart, I trust I shall begin at the fifth act of high comedy, and say at the altar, "Once won, won forever." Sir Philip Sidney. Lord Hervey's Memoirs of George II.
