Narrative

Section 1st 5
Contiguity of Ld
Belgrave pointed
out by Me as a
possible obstacle
Long's pantomimical
scorn

So far, so good: — one point there still was, in which,
in the midst of all this felicity, in concerned me in point
of prudence to obtain whatever security might, by any
exertion of mine, be obtainable. Four Ithacas (your Lordship
has seen in my printed evidence) four Ithacas each
in its within a rope's length of my weather beaten
back had already each in its turn vanished from my
pursuit: after four such voyages (a) little appetite was left
to me for a fifth — After testifying my acquiescence and
my acknowledgments by such expressions of language,
voice, countenance, & gesture, as the sensibility of the
moment could not but inspire (for at this time, I felt
neither suspicion nor apprehension unless it were from
indolence and unsteadiness) "But it joins on" (said I
speaking of the proposed acquisition) "to Lord Belgrave's
"residence and may not this prove an obstacle, as in
"this, & that, & t'other instance"? The identical words
of the answer I do not take upon me to remember:
but the pantomime had that in it which is engraven
on my memory in characters much more durable. —
"Lord Belgrave" — he: it is for the draughtsman, and not
the penman, to express the picture of scorn stamped
upon the features of the Honourable Secretary by the
mention of Lord Belgrave. —

Long said that
Ld Belgrave's opposition
would be of no

Nor that the ground of assurance was circumscribed
and limited by any such mute and transitory expressions.
A proposition — not only understood on both sides by expressed
and even... upon in clear and sober language
was — that (besides that no opposition form the Noble
Lord was rationally to be expected, because with the accommodation
that could & would be given him, it depended
upon himself to rid himself of every inconvenience) besides
all
