From The Letters of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
FIELDING
"His happy constitution (even when he had, with great pains, half demolished it) made him forget everything when he was before a venison pasty, or over a flask of champagne; and I am persuaded he has known more happy moments than any prince on earth."
From a letter to the Countess of Bute, dated Lovere, Sept. 22 (1755)
