While in this predicament I received a polite invitation to partake in the captain's company, which I did not see my way clear to refuse, and repaired to the cabin accordingly. There I found Griggs and Cockle seated, and a fair-sized barrel of rum between them that the captain had just moved thither.
He rightly concluded, that she was by no means mistress of such a considerable sum as he had already extorted from her mother, and therefore thought proper to represent himself in the most urgent predicament, that her apprehension, on his account, might be so alarmed as to engage her in some enterprise for his advantage, which otherwise she would never have dreamed of undertaking.
But when we consider the predicament of Louis, obliged to recall d'Éon publicly, while all his ruinous secrets remained in the hands of that disgraced and infuriated little man, it seems not quite impossible that he may have committed the folly of writing this letter.

Young Moore's face appeared at the door as his father was forced in, and angry words between the two followed as the door was closed. "There'll be a social session in there now," laughed Ned.

Other fellows, at my age, in such a predicament, would have whined shaved only twice a week, and written verses. I did none of the three the last indeed I tried, but, to my infinite surprise, I found my genius was not universal. I began with "'Sweet nymph, for whom I wake my muse.
