I have but a small tenement, said he, smiling;

replied Thornton, with a loud, coarse, chuckling laugh, which, more than a year's conversation could have done, let me into the secrets of his character.

I care not a rush for the decorations of the table, so that the cheer be good; nor for the gew-gaws of the head-dress, as long as the face is pretty--'the taste of the kitchen is better than the smell.' Do you go much to Madame B--'s ion the Rue Gretry--eh, Mr. Pelham?--ah, I'll be bound you do.
human

gpt
I tell you what my good fell--I beg pardon-- I mean Mr. Pelham--I can shew you the best sport in the world, if you can only spare me a little of your time--this very evening, perhaps?
human

gpt

gpt
Oh, that man; I have known him a very short time. What is his name? let me see!
