Mary palliated all uiy bursts of temper, by declaring her opinion tbey, "any ! man might possess tlio insipid quality of I good liumnt-; but tiiht Wargrnvo, if scmeI what hasty, had the Iw-st liesrt and principles in the world."

"Among those fciitfllo friends, was n certain Sophy Cavendish, a cousion of Mary's; young, handsome, rich; but gifted with that intemperate vivacity which I health and prosperity inspire, Sqphy was a fearless creature; tlio only person who did not shrink from my tits of ill-temper. When 1 scolded, she bantered; when L appeared sullen, sho piqued mo into cheerfulness. \Vo nsurlly met in morning visits, when 1 whs in a nmori to take her railleries in good part.
