October 3.—

My brother is arrived in town, but took care to settle himself

in handsome commodious lodgings before he paid us a visit; for fear, I suppose, that we should again press him to accept of apartments in our house. I see he is determined to keep up nothing more than an intercourse barely civil. Mr. Arnold cannot but be disgusted with his behaviour, but he is too delicate to take notice of it to me.
