'Yes, said Elizabeth, 'I like her music better than most people's, and she does not make a great fuss about it, she plays when she thinks people like it, and not when they ask only out of politeness, without caring about it. 'Do you think many people ask in that manner? said Mrs. Bouverie.
Dale, obliged to listen to the dullest stuff that ever was invented, and poor Mamma frightened out of her wits? I should not wonder if she had dreamt of mad dogs all night. 'I do not defend Mrs. Dale's powers of intellect, said Anne, 'but I should have thought that you at least had little reason to complain. You were very well off next to Mrs. Bouverie. 'Oh! Mrs.
Burton lived in one of the old houses on the east side of Bouverie Street, less than five minutes' walk from Thorndyke's chambers in King's Bench Walk; and he was, moreover, a "chronic" who could safely be left for the last.

He left the office then for the day, as he often did, but it was warm and alive with his presence, and she was doing his work, and she would see him again in the morning.

Went out to dinner at Oxenfoord Castle, and returned in the company of Lord Alloway, Chief Baron, Clerk, etc., and Mr. Bouverie, the English Commissioner. July 6. A day of hard work. The second volume is now well advanced wellnigh one half.
Tierney says he shall be beat, owing to Bate Dudley's manoeuvres, and the Dissenters having all forsaken him, a set of ungrateful wretches. E. Fawkener has just sent me a state of the poll at Northampton, as it stood yesterday, when they adjourned to dinner: Lord Compton, 160; Bouverie, 98; Colonel Manners, 72.
