Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.

Pause

I pause for a reply.
Shakespeare.—Julius Cæsar, Act III. Scene 2. Prior.—The Conversation.

Snuff, or the fan, supply each pause of chat,
With singing, laughing, ogling, and all that.
Pope.—Rape of the Lock, Canto III. Line 17.
