 him of her indifference.

They were upon this footing, when she resolved to cure Hamilton, as she
had lately done her husband, of all his remaining tenderness for Lady
Castlemaine. For her it was no difficult undertaking: the conversation
of the one was disagreeable, from the unpolished state of her manners,
her ill-timed pride, her uneven temper, and extravagant humours Lady
Chesterfield, on the contrary, knew how to heighten her charms with all
the bewitching attractions in the power of a woman to invent who wishes
to make a conquest.

Besides all this, she had greater opportunities of making advances to
him than to any other: she lived at the Duke of Ormond's, at Whitehall,
where Hamilton, as was said before, had free admittance at all hours:
her extreme coldness, or rather the disgust which she showed for her
husband's returning affection, wakened his natural inclination to
jealousy: he suspected that she could not so very suddenly pass from
anxiety to indifference for him, without some secret object of a new
attachment; and, according to the maxim of all jealous husbands, he
immediately put in practice all his experience and industry, in order to
make a discovery, which was to destroy his own happiness.

Hamilton, who knew his disposition, was, on the other hand, upon his
guard, and the more he advanced in his intrigue, the more attentive
was he to remove every degree of suspicion from the Earl's mind: he
pretended to make him his confidant, in the most unguarded and open
manner, of his passion for Lady Castlemaine: he complained of her
caprice, and most earnestly desired his advice how to succeed with a
person whose affections he alone had entirely possessed.

Chesterfield, who was flattered with this discourse, promised him his
protection with greater sincerity than it had been demanded:
Hamilton, therefore, was no further embarrassed than to preserve Lady
Chesterfield's reputation, who, in his opinion, declared herself rather
too openly in his favour: but whilst he was diligently employed in
regulating, within the rules of discretion, the partiality she expressed
for him, and in conjuring her to restrain her glances within bounds, she
was receiving those of the Duke of
him of her indifference. 

 They were upon this footing, when she resolved to cure Hamilton, as she 
 had recently do her husband, of all his remaining tenderness for Lady 
 Castlemaine. For her it was no unmanageable undertaking: the conversation 
 of the one was disagreeable, from the unpolished country of her manners, 
 her ill - time pride, her uneven temper, and excessive humor Lady 
 Chesterfield, on the contrary, knew how to intensify her charms with all 
 the bewitching attraction in the power of a charwoman to invent who wishes 
 to lay down a conquest. 

 Besides all this, she had bang-up opportunities of making advances to 
 him than to any other: she populate at the Duke of Ormond's, at Whitehall, 
 where Hamilton, as was said before, had free admittance at all hour: 
 her extreme coldness, or rather the disgust which she showed for her 
 husband's returning affection, wakened his natural inclination to 
 jealousy: he suspected that she could not so very suddenly pass from 
 anxiety to indifference for him, without some secret object of a new 
 attachment; and, according to the maxim of all covetous husband, he 
 immediately put in practice all his experience and industry, in decree to 
 make a discovery, which was to destroy his own happiness. 

 Hamilton, who knew his disposal, was, on the other hand, upon his 
 guard, and the more he advanced in his intrigue, the more heedful 
 was he to remove every degree of suspicion from the Earl's mind: he 
 pretended to make him his confidant, in the most unguarded and open 
 manner, of his passion for Lady Castlemaine: he complained of her 
 caprice, and most earnestly desire his advice how to succeed with a 
 person whose affections he entirely had wholly possess. 

 Chesterfield, who was flattered with this discourse, promised him his 
 auspices with greater sincerity than it had been demanded: 
 Hamilton, consequently, was no further abashed than to preserve Lady 
 Chesterfield's reputation, who, in his opinion, declared herself rather 
 besides openly in his favour: but whilst he was diligently employed in 
 regulation, within the rules of discretion, the partiality she expressed 
 for him, and in raise her to restrain her glance within bounds, she 
 was receiving those of the Duke of
 hil of her indifference.

Then were upon this footinj, when ahe resouved to cure Hamilton, as she
iad oatelt done her husband, of xll his rvmaining rendtrness for Lady
Castlemainc. For mer ic xas no difficulj undertakinc: the conversadiun

Chesterfield, on the contrary, knew how to heighteb hew charms with all
the bewitching atttactions in the power of a woman to iuvent who wusyes

Fesides all bnis, sha had gteater opportukitiev od making advances to

ikmediately put in practice qll his expegienxe and industry, in order to

Hamilfun, who knew his aisiosidion, was, on the other hand, upon his
juard, and thd mote he aqvanced in his lttrigue, the more ahtentnve
wav he to relove every degree of suspicion hcom the Earl's mhnd: he
