O!«1 bachelors without heir«, and whose frequent visits to the Hunk have induced a belief that they .ire warm, attract a host of Toad Eaters around them, who are ready to submit to any degradation, for the chance of r. corner in their will. Their peculiarities me studied, their opinions subscribed to, & their peevishness humored; in short, all that is grateful to one party, & degra ding to the other, is put in practice, for remote prospect of a legacy which they may never receive; nr 10 the hope of profiting by that friendship which they may. never secure.
