him : - < '< of * :
perfect woman, and there can be n<
doubt that his ieminine friends (ant
their muiie was legion) did tfcoi;
best to gratify his amiable weak
ness.
Richard Cumberland tells us
says the London Gentlewoman, tha
his inordinate demands for his fa
vorate beverage were occasionally
difficult to comply with. On Si'
Joshua Reynolds reminding him h<
had already consumed eleven cup
he replied: "Sir, f did not conn
your glasses of wine. Why shouh
you number my cups of tea ?" Ant
laughingly he added :n perfect goot
humor, "Sir, I should have .releasee
our hoste-s from any further tron
ble, but you have reminded me tha
I want one more enp to make uj
the dozen, and I must request Mrs
Cumberland to round up my score.1
When he saw the complacency
with which the ladv of the housi
obeyed his behests lie said cheerily
"Madam, I must tell you for you
comfort you have escaped mud
better than a certain lady di<
awhile ago, on whose patience I in
truded greatly more than I have 01
yours. She asked me for no othe
purpose than to make a zany of m
and set me gabbling to a parcel o
people I knew nothing of. Sc
madam, I had my revenge on hei
for I swallowed five and twent
cups of her tea."
Cumberland declared that hi
wife would gladly have made te
for Johnson as long as the Nrn
river could have supplied her wit!
water, for it was then, and the:
only, he was seen at his happies
moments.
On his Scottish tour his inexora
ble demands for tea sorely tried th
patience of Lady Macleod of Dur
vegan, who after giving him hi
sixteenth cop suggested that fai
tker supplies in a small basin migh
be agreeable to him.
"I wonder, madam," he answere
roughly, "why all the ladies ask m
cnr>!> nunstinns Tt is to save voui

self trouble, madam. and not me."
The lady was discreetly silcn
and resumed her task.
