“ I hate every thing that Old England brings forth, except it be the temper of an English husband, and the liberty of an English wife, I love French bread, French wines, French sauces, and French cooks; in short, I have all about me either French or Foreign, from my waiting-maid to my parrot, only my steward. ”

“ I love gameing, and therefore tolerate it among my servants, for the same reason I leave them to their own licentious appetites, to swear, curse, riot, drink, and do what they please. I give them a great deal of liberty and little wages. And if my steward happens to get my house-keeper with child, I make my coachman marry her; turn away my footman for aspiring to my maid, and her I marry to my Lord's chamberlain, and gives her six changes of my old clothes for her dowry; and sometimes I fancy the butler, because he is handsomer than my own husband. ”

“ A. Some with money, and some with fair promises. I seldom pay any body's bills, but I run more in their debt. I give poor tradesmen ill words, and the rich I treat civily, in hopes to get farther into their debt. ”
