Seward came long before <1Lexiphanes>1.<s3>s Mrs. Thrale
is a very pretty woman still; she is extremely lively
and chatty; has no supercilious or pedantic airs, and is
really gay and agreeable. Her daughter<s4>s is about

are prodigiously useful in drawing out the wit and
pleasantry of others. Mr. Seward <s1>s is a very polite,
agreeable young man.
My sister Burney <s2>s was invited to mee . . .
