Letter 3 XVII. Hulk Mortality

unless for a friend and then a very particular or indeed so

were. As little have I any such worship to Friendship
between the gentleman who popped out of the pocket and the
gentleman out of whose pocket the other popped, is a point
not less difficult to prove, at least by direct evidence the evidence of sense.
The Noble Lord and the gentleman on the otherwise of the
wainscot could, either of them, by their answer evidence put both
matters points out of doubt. Fortunately or unfortunately, But the favourite maxim about
self evidence self-crimination and self-degradation,the maxim made to cover
this and every thing else that ought to be disclosed steps
in and claims covers them: so that in this respect on this occasion as in all
others they may do exactly as they please. On these
obscure and delicate points, circumstantial evidence then is the
sole resort: and before the bar of the public at least—
not to speak of other bars—circumstantial evidence
is not altogether without its weight. As to one point
then, does not the same view which pulled at one time pulled the hand of a noble Duke,
pull continue to pull the hand of his noble successor, and always in the same
oblique and tortuous line?—The Crowding plan—
him? Is not the plan so distinctly chalked out by that the epistle from the
upper floor to the floor beneath under—is it not
to the Treasury, pursued still without deviation,
pursued in the talk of conviction full view of the effect of it by
those who to pursue it, and pursue it with full effect,
have nothing to do but to do nothing? Then again the others As to another
as to the far side—the amiable—the friendly side of the business
I beg leave to ask—
point unless for a friend, and that a very
one friend indeed, is it in the nature of man thus—thus compleatly to expose
himself? I say to expose himself: but to shew
how compleat the exposure is—and that on both sides—
subsequent events will have their use require to be called in—subsequent
wants which I now proceed to submitt to a pair
of noble eyes in which they will bear make the same
effect impression as all preceding ones Yes, my Lord subsequent facts, facts demonstrated
and notorious and in direct proof—will manifest themselves, an in doing so will point backwards, and throw daylight
upon motives.
