ALL OVER
"I told him all was now over. I certainly won by this. For to have broke with them just now would have given them opportunity to make me ridiculous; and if I find it convenient, it is easy to get out of acquaintance (or rather familiarity) with them. For they are very agreeable acquaintances. But when a man is familiar with many people he must expect many disagreeable familiarities."
From Thursday, 17 February, 1763
