ated me with
insupportable irritations: I perfectly fevered and maddened with their
excess. I bid not now enjoy a calm of reason enough to perceive, but
I extatically, indeed, felt the power of such rare and exquisite
provocatives, as the examples of the night had proved towards thus
exalting our pleasures: which, with great joy. I sensibly found my
gallant shared in, by his nervous and home expressions of it: his eyes
flashing eloquent flames, his action infuriated with the stings of it,
all conspiring to raise my delight, by assuring me of his. Lifted then
to the utmost pitch of joy that human life can bear, undestroyed by
excess, I touched that sweetly critical point, whence scarce prevented

initiated, and one of them.

As it was an inviolable law for every gallant to keep to his partner,
for the night especially, and even till he relinquished possession over
to the community, in order to preserve a pleasing property, and to avoid
the disgusts and indelicacy of another arrangement, the company, after
a short refection of biscuits and wine, tea and chocolate, served in at
now about one in the morning, broke up, and went off in pairs. Mrs. Cole
