For example, I am taking you to-day to see the Prince in a nankeen vest. What do you think will be the consequence of that?"

Mr. Sheridan in August, 1787, gave two notes, 50l. each, to Dr. T. for the first year's service, which notes were paid at different periods the first by Mr. Sheridan at Brookes's, in January, 1788, the second by Mr.
Cadets and cornets in light-dragoon regiments did these things: they liked their 'bit of beauty'; and there was a sort of mock-poetry about these creatures that suited that sort of thing; but for a man who wrote his letters from Brookes's, and whose dinner invitations included all that was great in town, to stoop to such an alliance was as bold a defiance as one could throw at a world of self-seeking and conventionality.
Goostree's is a small society of young men in Opposition, and they are very nice in their admissions; as they discourage gaming as much as possible, their Club will not do any harm to Brookes's, and probably not subsist a great while; it seems to be formed on the model of the celebrated Tuesday Night Club. The other is at Welche's, in St.
He is too fond, she says, of Brookes's and Goosetree's when he is in London. She has the perversity to hint that, though an entree to Carlton House may be very pleasant, 'tis very dangerous for a young gentleman: and she would have Miles live away from temptation, and sow his wild oats, and marry, as we did.

Frank wondered if this decision was owing to Mrs. Brookes's influence.
"So you don't play, Sir Robert?" he cried. "What, here? No, I am going to Brookes's." "But how do you like Harrel's ward? You have taken a pretty good survey of her." "Why, faith, I don't know; but not much, I think; she's a devilish fine woman, too; but she has no spirit, no life." "Did you try her? Have you talked to her?" "Not I, truly!" "Nay, then how do you mean to judge of her?"
Nothing, save folly and a foolish promise rashly asked and rashly given. Three days before Lord Earle left London, he went by appointment to meet some friends at Brookes's.
I shall meet you, perhaps, at Brookes's, to morrow evening, and report to you respecting my success." Lord Dawton pressed my hand warmly, and followed me to the door. "He is the best premier we could have," thought I; "but he deceives himself, if he thinks Henry Pelham will play the jackall to his lion. He will soon see that I shall keep for myself what he thinks I hunt for him."
If a rich young Catholic were in Parliament, he would belong to White's and to Brookes's, would keep race-horses, would walk up and down Pall Mall, be exonerated of his ready money and his constitution, become as totally devoid of morality, honesty, knowledge, and civility as Protestant loungers in Pall Mall, and return home with a supreme contempt for Father O'Leary and Father O'Callaghan.
