The best compliments of Kate upon Roger do wait, Requesting him at dinner, and to spend the evening with her. Roger, much oblig'd to Kate will certainly accept the honour, To spend the evening tête à tête, and to dine will wait upon her. When Kate and Roger met, their joy was then complete; Quoth Roger: "As 'tis late, I'll spend the night with Kate".
