He lived in good style, kept his carriage, and servants in livery, and made it a rule to have three courses served up at his table — though he was a very temperate 40 The Life of man, and seldom tasted of anything but soup, fish, and apple pie. I apprehend that the town-acquainted reader knows well that I allude to Colonel Mordaunt, the East Indian Nabob ; he was said to have brought from that country five hundred thousand pounds. I firmly believe he brought double that sum, but wasted a great ...portion of it on Bible and Missionary Societies.
