to earl Strutwell-his kind Promise and Invitation-the Behaviour of his
Porter and Lacquey-he receives me with an Appearance of uncommon
Affection-undertakes to speak in my Behalf to the Minister-informs me of
his Success, and wishes me Joy-introduces a Conversation about Petronius
Arbiter-falls in Love with my Watch, which I press upon him-I make a
present of a Diamond Ring to Lord Straddle-impart my good Fortune to
Strap and Banter, who disabuses me, to my utter Mortification
