Page 53 - Poor Mrs Manley, the author, is very ill of a dropsy and sore leg ; the printer tells me he is afraid she cannot live long.

I loved him very well, and I think he loved me better. He had the greatest mind in the world to have me go with him to France, but durst not tell it me ; and those he did tell said I could not be spared, which was true.

Page 226 - I retired hither for the public good, having two great works in hand : * one to reduce the whole politeness, wit, humour, and style of England into a short system, for the use of all persons of quality, and particularly the maids of honour.
Page 27 - I called at noon at Mrs Masham's, who desired me not to let the Prophecy be published, for fear of angering the Queen about the Duchess of Somerset ; so I writ to the printer to stop them. They have been printed and given about, but not sold.
Page 31 - I desired my Lord Radnor's brother to let my lord know I would call on him at six, which I did; and was arguing with him three hours to bring him over to us; and I spoke so closely, that I believe he will be tractable.
