Seite 50 - Last Monday week almost everybody in Margate was drunk, by reason of the Freemasons' meeting and fox-hunt, and all my male sitters disappointed me. Some sent me word they were engaged; some not very well; others could not get their hair dressed. But I found it was one general disorder.
Seite 112 - If an ostler or post-boy applauded his observations he was sure to be touched in the palm with half-a-crown, or perhaps to receive a pair of leather breeches little the worse for wear.

Seite 96 - He might have been said to live in an academy in the midst of models. He would get one to stand or sit for a hand, another for a head, an attitude, or a figure, according as their countenance or character suited.
