Whence this unkind difference of conduct ? Is 01 ANTI-DELPIIINE. Is it to make me yet more sensible of the tedious restraints of society ? All ! believe me, you could not have pursued more effectual nieans to make me hate it. T contrast a cold and formal circle, insipid in proportion c-is it is inlarged^ with the delightful tete a tetes which I have liad the felicity to enjoy with one Vv'hose conversation and manners are calculated at once to improve the mind and interest the heart. I laugh mec...hanically at tlie forced jests of some whom fashion has constituted wits in defiance of nature's previous decree that they should be fools ; hut I compare their feeble efforts at re- partee with the brilliant sallies con- tinually issuing, almost unconsci- ously, from lips which justly proud of their office seem to blush deeper sweets in the perfori.uince of it. I could ANTI-DELPHIXE. 105 1 could better bear with tiresome ceremonies and hacknied forms had I your sympathy to sustain my pa- tience in a trial too severe- for mere philosophy ; but I look towards you as it were by instinct, when my ex- hausted spirits need support ; a glance from you would be a cordial to them, but I have the additional mortification of seeing only averted looks, or the cold expression of indifference, whilst you bestow on every other person attentions of which I will not say that any one is less worthy than I should be, for your favours are too justly appreciated ever to be received with ingratitude ; but surely I may without presumption affirm that you could confer them on none who would be more sensible of their value.
