She bent down, flinging her arms round the colley's neck, and pressed a kiss on a white star on his forehead. Just then Sir John's voice was heard calling them.
Rid us now of thy company: but stop, I will do thee a pleasure; know you this gentleman?" "I have not that extreme honour." "Know a Count, then! Count Devereux, demean yourself by sometimes acknowledging Colley Cibber, a rare fellow at a song, a bottle, and a message to an actress; a lively rascal enough, but without the goodness to be loved, or the independence to be respected."
