Excerpt from The Spirit of Place, and Other Essays Swift is most charming when he is feigning to complain of his task Here is such a stir and bustle with this little MD of ours I must be writing every night; 0 Lord, 0 Lord I must go write idle things, and twittle twattle. These saucy jades take up so much of my time with writing to them in the morn ing. Is it not a stealthy wrong done upon Mrs. Dingley that She should be stripped of all these ornaments to her name and memory? When Swift tells a woman in a letter that there he is writing in bed, like a tiger, she should go gay in the eyes of all generations.
