I leave this void space that the reader may swear into it any oath that he is most accustomed to--For my own part, if ever I swore a whole oath into a vacancy in my life, I think it was into that--........., said I--and so my remarks through France, which were as full of wit, as an egg is full of meat, and as well worth four hundred guineas, as the said egg is worth a penny--have I been selling here to a chaise-vamper--for four Louis d'Ors--and giving him a post-chaise (by heaven) worth six into the bargain; had it been to Dodsley, or Becket, or any creditable bookseller, who was either leaving off business, and wanted a post-chaise--or who was beginning it--and wanted my remarks, and two or three guineas along with them--I could have borne it--but to a chaise-vamper!--shew me to him this moment, Francois,--said I--The valet de place put on his hat, and led the way--and I pull'd off mine, as I pass'd the commissary, and followed him.
