 who was ready enough to find Faults where there were none, was a little confounded at the Sight of Fribligghe; but since I had sworn that I lov'd and suffer'd so much, the thought I absolv'd her from her Promises, and that Fribbigghe was to be discarded: She took the Hint from his rubbing his Eyes, and told him that the believ'd he was not right awake; or else he wou'd not have the Impudence to come into the Chamber of one that shou'd command his Esteem, without first knowing whether his Visit was seasonable, and told him that for that Time she wou'd pardon him; but begg'd of him to be more discreet for the future. As great a Fool as he was, he cou'd not but perceive that he was ill us'd, and tho' he did not love her, yet his little Soul cou'd not bear to see her in the Arms of another: What, Madam, said he, is it thus that I am slighted? Are all my Sufferings and your Vows so soon forgotten? And have I seen you in the Arms of one whom of all living I shou'd never suspect for a Rival? But Madam you are fond of Rarities, or else you cou'd never leave me for such a Person. Here I was going to reply, but the prevented me, and told him that I was more than I appear'd to be; but for some Reasons which he shou'd never be acquainted with, had chosen that Dress, and desir'd him to be cautious in speaking of me. Madam, said he, I shall never think well of any that regard you, since you have blam'd me for what I have done with your Permission. Then turning to me, he told me that he wou'd remember me, and would be glad to see me in the Park at six that Evening. I assur'd him, that I shou'd be very sorry that he shou'd forget me, and as he was going down Stairs, lent him two or three Kicks for a Token to put him in mind of me. He was so much enrag'd, that he seem'd not to take notice of them, but walk'd off in some Disorder.
