Honourable Secretary and his Honourable disposition.
My object was to get the business on in any direction
– his object was to stop it, content satisfied however
rather than to be be at the expence of too much trouble
in stopping it – to take it awide. Urged at
the same time between by the two contending impulses
– a sort of compromise took place and the business struck
went off in a the diagonal to the Secretary of State's Your Lordship's
Office. At a like period Your Lordship has already seen another
similar business rebounding in like from the motionless racket of the
Honourable Gentlemen to the Surveyor General
office. The colours of the interview are now faded, and can not
without more trouble than the picture would be worth
be re revived again painted in my mind: but I caught
hime somewhere – proposed the reference, and to
be rid of me he acquiescence acquiesced signified his acquiescence.

In⊞ ⊞ What is more –
how strange soever
it may appear to Your
Lordship – if his acquiescence
did amount
to a promise, he
must have as will be
seen from the documents
[I. ] have kept this
promise, must some
how or other have been
kept: – though, in what way
kept, Your different Lordship will
see presently.⊞
⊞ Kept in the Honourable Gentlemans Secretary's way of doing things – in such a way as not
to answer any purpose. [See 27 Sept.]
Sufficient case
was at the same time
taken that no the no knowledge
of that step should
ever reach me, since
in that way my attendance
would might have found a
period, and my anxiety
a relief. The whole In this instance
as in all others
comfort of the transition
was or course reserved and appropriated
to his own
thought Honourable table
and not a crum of
it was to be let all suffered to be
caught by the Lazarus
who was lying under it.

It was in one of these desponding moments In this stage of things – and in the humour bred and
nursed by it – in my at the descent from the my good or ill steps of the Treasury Chambers
into the thoroughfare passage descending the Treasury steps I accepted upon Mr my good or ill fortune
fortune I know not which to call it brought me opposite in view of
to Mr Nepean. Bound for a distant walk – he Nepean. The question produced on his part by the reconnoitre
was such as arose naturally out of the place that was the scene
proposed my joining him of it. The answer wh such as the occasion prescribed by me not being comparable in a few words consistently with the kind
with me. The has not purpose by which the question had been dictated, he gave me to
that the walk to continue would off from mentioned to me his intrepid walk, which was a lone one –
of some length proposed by joining him & heard my story
altogether without cause. Mr Rose had been the first
and promised me his assistance. – The sympathy that manifested was
not by any means without an intelligible cause. Mr Rose had been the first
to see the plan and to approve of it: but the what
those had talked of doing Mr Nepean had done: done as much for as had depended upon himself –⊞ ⊞ It would have been
done by him, and
done compleatly –
at the expence of
about a couple of
hours of his
time, so long ago
as in August 1793 but for I don't know what
flaws which had been discovered by I don't know whom
and what had made it necessary as was supposed to
