LETTER XXXIV.
HarringtontoWorthy.
Boston.
I FIND my temper grown extremely irritable—my sensibility is wounded at the slightest neglect—I am very tenacious of everything, and of everybody.
A PARTY was made yesterday to go on the water; I was omitted, and the neglect hurt me. I inquired the cause, and what think you is the answer? “I am no company—I am asked a question and return nothing to the point—I am absent—I am strangely altered within a few days—I am thinking ofa different subject when I ought to be employed in conversation—I am extravagant in my observations—I am no company.”
THEY would persuade me I am little better than a mad man—I have no patience with their nonsensical replies—Such wiseacres do not deserve my pity.
Farewel!
Farewel!
Farewel!
Farewel!
