Letters of the late Thomas Lord Lyttleton: From a late
London Edition, just published. (Continued from our last.)
Letter XII. . . [1 1/2 paragraphs]
There is no one I envy so much as I do P_____________: a
cap and bells is a crown to him; a tune upon a flageolet is
a concert; if the sun shines he sports himself in its beams;
if the storm comes, he skips gaily along; and when he is wet
to the skin, it only serves to make out a pleasant story
while he is drying himself at the fire. If you are dull
after dinner, he will get him up and rehearse half a dozen
scenes out of a play, and do it well, and be as pleased with
his performance as you can be. . .
