She walked up to him, and without hesitation she did what she had never yet done before a spectator: she slipped her little hand into his. He looked down upon her, rather pale, his lips moving. Then withdrawing his hand, he quietly and proudly put his arm round her. She accepted the movement with equal pride, and without a word.
Nothing landward can possibly approach them: in the rudest tempest the ground remains firm, and you feel that you are a spectator; but at sea you are a part of the storm.
"What!" cried the gentleman in the flaxen wig, "what! the 'Tatler's' successor, the 'Spectator'?" "The same," quoth the colonel. "To be sure; who has not?" returned he of the flaxen ornament. "People say Congreve writes it." "They are very much mistaken, then," cried a little square man with spectacles; "to my certain knowledge Swift is the author."
SPECTATOR, there are about Twenty or Thirty of us in this Town, I mean by this Town the Cities of London and Westminster; I say there are in Town a sufficient Number of us to make a Society among our selves; and since we cannot be believed any longer, I beg of you to print this my Letter, that we may meet together, and be under such Regulation as there may be no Occasion for Belief or Confidence among us.
Every member of the party declared that he was ready to follow wherever the great scout might lead. Instantly Daniel Boone led the way into the forest. The anxious scout was so quiet and self-controlled that an uninformed spectator would never have suspected that he was labouring under special stress.

Up to 1732 Vauxhall appears to have been conducted in a haphazard way.

And even this chance was, in circumstances so desperate, not to be neglected.
The strong man who threw up the cannon balls into the air, and allowed them to fall on his nape, to roll down the hollow of his back to the ground, hardly aroused this indifferent spectator. What he looked forward to with curiosity was the performance of the lion-tamer, and when it did come it exceeded his expectations.
What proof, I say?" "Would there be two lockets, Highness?" "More proof than this will be needed. Produce it. Prolong this agony of doubt not another instant."
