Austin, sitting motionless beside her, found the night one of purification and dedication.

Johnson, nearly three years earlier, had said of Granger: 'The dog is a Whig. I do not like much to see a Whig in any dress; but I hate to see a Whig in a parson's gown. Boswell's Hebrides, Sept. 24, 1773. Granger from the dedication, and took especial pains to get my virtues left out of the question. 'In moderation placing all my glory, While Tories call me Whig, and Whigs a Tory.
He called a small, thin London litterateur of his acquaintance, "a pin without the head or the point." When a plain, not to say ugly, gentleman intimated his intention of being godfather to somebody's child, Jerrold begged him not to give the youngster his "mug."
