Eventually, worn out, she gives up trying to judge...
Johnson’s life has often been depicted as a series of contests from which he emerged more or less victorious. The diaries he left behind are melancholy, desultory and remorselessly self-recriminating, consisting in large part of resolutions, inevitably broken, to rise early, study hard and control himself. Yet Johnson was also a convivial, energetic, witty man, the cure for whose weakness (as he said himself) was company.
