I pray Heaven to discover it to themselves, and to preserve them; but if their ill destiny will have their amours come to the knowledge of the caliph, I shall at least be out of the reach of his resentment; for I do not think them so wicked as to design to draw me into their misfortunes.
Some, however, whispered that there was more in him than appeared in his amours and his adventures of the chase. I was just about to turn my horse's head towards the south, when a man came out of my half-ruined stable and looked up at me.

The cottage stands, I think, upon your father's land a family which I respect and the wood, I understand, is Lord Trevanion's. Not that I care; I am an old Bohemian. I have cut society with a cut direct; I cut it when I was prosperous, and now I reap my reward, and can cut it with dignity in my declension.

As she expected, he was heavily armed against her and Nevil. 'You're the slave of the fellow, ma'am. You are so infatuated that you second his amours, in my house.

We should be too happy were those stains not to be rub'd off, and had justly been, as they design'd us, the subject of their laughter, if we had suffer'd our selves to be so grossly impos'd on in a sham inscription." Tryphoena, who was not yet unmindful of our former amours, wou'd have pity'd us.
