Mr.
Grenville, advancing toward me, shook me by the hand with a degree of cordiality that was extremely seducing.

As soon as he, and as many more as could find chairs, were seated, he began to open the intent of his visit.

I told him I had no vote, for which he readily gave me credit.

I assured him I had no influence, which he was not equally inclined to believe, and the less, no doubt, because Mr.Ashburner, the draper, addressing himself to me at this moment, informed me that I had a great deal.

Supposing that I could not be possessed of such a treasure without knowing it, I ventured to confirm my first assertion, by saying, that if I had any I was utterly at a loss to imagine where it could be, or wherein it consisted.
