In the evening we all went into Lord Berwick's private box at the theatre, and were very merry, with the exception of his lordship, who sat down quietly at the very back of the box, where he could neither see nor hear. Sophia did not once take the slightest notice of him. For my part, I asked him several times, if he would not exchange places with Lord Worcester; but he assured me that he disliked seeing a play more than sitting in the dark.
"Sophia ought to chat with you then, since she chooses to favour you with her company."
"Oh, I do not like to be talked to," said Lord Berwick.
Every morning of my life I was entertained with his lordship's prosing about Sophia.
"I do not think," said he, "that Sophia will ever willingly deceive me."
