Between these two sat a gentleman whom I knew to be my Lord Howard of Escrick, though I had never spoken with him. He carried himself with a very high air, and was the only man there dressed as if he were still in Westminster; the rest were subdued, somewhat, in their appearance.
The Earl of Argyle was a more solemn sort of man, grave and sober, free of all scandalous vices. Swift. As a man is free of a corporation, he means. Burnet.
