Pray,Sir, give me leave to ask you ... what, in your opinion, is the meaning of the word sentimental,
Why do you ask?
Well it is so much in vogue amongst the polite, both in town and country. One hears it all the time,
in common conversation, I have asked several who make use of it,
And what answer have you received?
The answer I get is well,,,,,sentimental...is well....sentimental. Everything clever and agreeable
is comprehended in that word; but no one can give me exact definition of what it means.
Verily, perhaps you doth shew at sentimentality towards the word.
