The curiosity of the company was immediately excited, and the lady added, she had a copy in her pocket, which was much at their service, provided its being thus produced would not be disagreeable to the author.

The whole circle immediately entreated Mr.Falkland to comply with their wishes, and Mr.Clare, who was one of the company, enforced their petition.

Nothing gave this gentleman so much pleasure as to have an opportunity of witnessing and doing justice to the exhibition of intellectual excellence.

Mr.Falkland had no false modesty or affectation, and therefore readily yielded his consent.
Mr.Tyrrel accidentally sat at the extremity of this circle.

It cannot be supposed that the turn the conversation had taken was by any means agreeable to him.
