Famous quotes containing the words town and/or company:
“Such a set of tittle tattle, prittle prattle visitants! Oh Dear! I am so sick of the ceremony and fuss of these fall lall people!

All the conversation is scandal, all the attention, dress, and almost all the heart, folly, envy, and censoriousness.”

“If it were not for the company of fools, a witty man would often be greatly at a loss.”
