What an edifying spectacle did this brace of friends present to those who remembered the anti-socialities of their predecessors!You never met the one by chance in the street without a wonder, which was quickly dissipated by the almost immediate sub-appearance of the other.

Such a scene of perfectly easy sociality between two such opponents in the war of political controversy, as that which I now beheld, would have been an excellent subject for a picture.

At the season of councils and religious festivals there was more of actual intercourse and sociality than at any other time; but this was confined to the dance and was in itself limited.
