The Mother of the S00

of

both

The Marquis was
fo
generally kind and obliging in his carriage, thac
he never
gave an ill word
to
any perfon whacfoever. When he plaid ar Bowls, he never
would fuffef: any to give him up his Bowls from the ground; bue in cafe any one
was
fo
coµrteous as to doe it, he would 1Ake it, and rhrow ir infiancly far from
him, which went for a call

his hands vvith fome filch which fl:uck to it, and prefencly lifcing up his foot,

that

he
was
fo
