Purchase of Ld Salisbury's on the proposal of Mr Long
much of emoryman which nature had given, and
man had left Mr Long had left to me. It was he who begun the
parley, for it was then he could do so without danger: at the
sound of the first troublesome crowd, the touch of a
spur would save him from a second. To my
enraptured eyes, the brow of Constitution Hill was there
transformed, into all at once, into a Mount Pisgah. With the eye
of flesh not blood should nearly, and with the mind's eye
compleatly, I then grasped and for the first time, an the beatifice in the vision of
a happily situated and easily accessible spot
through and compleatable, though in the first instance incompleated spot, with a phantasmagoric
view of compensation for the deficiency. In this
mindful period – a period of which the maximum
was two three minutes, my ears had full employment,
my tongue could scarce obtain, or indeed so much as
wish a time seek, an interval for utterance: nor time diligence )or your
Lordship may well imagine) was left me pursuing wanting, in the pursuit
of an opening by the solicitation of an explanatory undeceiving, and nor
I believe not many days I am that did many days elapse
many weeks elapsed any number of weeks, before, as your Lordship
has seen already, I was fortunate enough to obtain it.
I mention this lest any one would say – tis your
story is a false one a false tale. It was not at this time but almost that the business proposal took ill its commencement
that such or such a thing was said: – whether
at this or that, your Lordship said is is what (I flatter myself) will not in
which can never your Lordship's judgment, make any very material difference.
