She was remarkable for her conversational powers, and was also an admirable letter-writer. Like the rest of her family she was a Unitarian. Biographer and critic, s. of an architect in London, grad. at Cambridge, entered the Church, and, after holding various minor preferments, became Master of the Temple.
"Give him back 'e beaver, if you no like he discovery. Grad to see 'em back, ag'in; skin higher price dan ever." "Nick, you're a cormorant, if there ever was one in this world! Here there is a dollar for you; the quit-rent is paid for this year, at least. It ought to be for the last time." "Let him go for all summer, cap'in. Yes, Nick wonderful commerant! no such eye he got, among Oneida!"
He was, however, induced to return, and grad. in 1749. The Church was chosen for him as a profession against his will be it said in justice to him. He presented himself before the Bishop of Elphin for examination perhaps as a type of deeper and more inward incongruencies in scarlet breeches, and was rejected.

I want to take them to the trainin'-table and have them under my eye all the time.
"All right," came faintly across the distance, with a wave of the smart little cap, and a bright backward smile from the handsome Englishman. The Saucy Seven looked at each other, then the big grad simply expressed things in one explosive "Well!" "No, I don't think we'll move to-morrow," said one. "Move from here!" said another. "Well, I'm a frazzle," added a third.
And what made his condition of mind border on imbecility was a hurried whisper from Arthurs between innings: "Peg, don't pay the slightest attention to 'em fat-head grad. coaches." Practice days succeeding that were worse nightmares to Ken Ward than the days he had spent in constant fear of the sophomores.
Poet, s. of A. of Kinaldie in Fife. After grad. at St. Andrews, he studied law at Paris, became ambassador to the Emperor, and held other court offices.
