Evidence: | [Mr Rooke gives an account of his average day] 'I rise about Nine, drink Coffee, not that I like it, but that it gives a Man the Air of a Politician, for the same Reason I always read the News; - then I dress, and, about Twelve go to the [italics] Cocoa-Tree [end italics], where I talk Treason; from thence to [italics] St James's Coffee-house [end italics], where I praise the Ministry; then to [italics] White's [end italics], where I talk Gallantry; so by Three, I return home to Dinner; after that, I read about an Hour, and digest the Book and the Dinner together' |
