Finding there was no retreat, I prepared myself in the
midst of my astonishment for the combat to which I saw already
had been prepared for me. Mr Long whom I
had not seen for above a twelvemonth—who for weeks or
months had fled from me—and when who when at least I caught
him had expressly forbidden my attempting to see him any
more, this same Mr Long had now it seems I presumed
planned to catch me by surprize with his a gentleman
as closely linked to him, as strange to me for his support.
All decorum being as it appeared to me banished cast off—I
determined to avail myself of the opportunity of establishing
as well as I could hope to do by the testimony before a most partial
and naturally unwilling evidence two or three points which I had
much at heart.
Mr Bentham. Well Sir (to Mr Long) and was it then
to meet me that you have been stationed here for so many such a
length of time hours? This is indeed an honour as unexpected as it is now
an honour I have not had for this above this twelvemonth
refused me for months together by acts and at length
in so many by express words?
The answer consisted in denying the fact and
moment and the next moment in the same breath admitting it saying that it
was for my own advantage that he desired a Memorial
of me, that I might be at a certainty and so forth. N.B.
He had ordered In refusing ever to see me any In me from his presence and without provocation or pretence
of provocation refusing to see me any more, he had indeed
said to me Give in a Memorial, but had refused to tell
me me, either then or at any future subsequent time what was to be the object or the purport of it or so
much as the object of it.
