Eight in the evening
I am just setting out with a friend for Major Melmoth 's , to pay my compliments to the two ladies : I have no relish for this visit ; I hate misses that are going to be married ; they are always so full of the dear man , that they have not common civility to other people . I am told however both the ladies are agreeable . 14th . Eight in the evening . Agreeable , Lucy ! she is an angel : 't is happy for me she is engag 'd ; nothing else could secure my heart , of which you know I am very tenacious : only think of finding beauty , delicacy , sensibility , all that can charm in woman , hid in a wood in Canada ! You say I am given to be enthusiastic in my approbations , but she is really charming .
