We showed it to Congreve ; who, after reading it over, said, it would either take greatly, or be damned confoundedly.
עמוד 176 - I assured him that I did not at all take it ill of Mr. Tickell that he was going to...
עמוד 175 - Button's coffee-house, where I used to see him almost every day — On his meeting me there one day in particular, he took me aside, and said he should be glad to dine with me, at such a tavern, if I staid till those people were gone (Budgell and Philips).
