145 ページ - ... perverting me from the road of virtue, in which I have trod thus long, and never made one trip, not one faux pas; Oh, consider it, what would you have to answer for, if you should provoke me to frailty? Alas! humanity is feeble, Heaven knows! very feeble, and unable to support itself.
258 ページ - ... what brought you into the world ? how came you here, sir? here, to stand here, upon those two legs, and look erect with that audacious face, hah...
