it inclose? portend My own stuff back again?
Let me feel — it is hardly thick enough for that
a severe and freezing reprimand? I will Let me
Suppose it be - I will pluck up my shirts, <add> and face it at any rate, face it however — Confession and submission
may perhaps make my peace — But why
thus apprehensive? as if any reprimand, how
severe soever, would not be less so <add>than</add>disdainful could be as severe as silence?
In the midst of While Reading these debates were going on, the
letter has been lying lay a good hour unopened on the
[+] When a letter comes
from an interesting
quarter my table. [+] My procrastinating In every cast of the die<add>face supposition</add> temper finds
in either side of the alternative in reason for delay — If bad news something unpleasant is apprehended,
the evil hour moment is to be staved off:
of something pleasing is expected,, the pleasure flutter<add>luxury</add> of expectation

A reprieve! a reprieve! It is even so — The Sovereign
with the advice of the <add>her</add> Privy Council has borrowed the sceptre of Ahasuerus, and
stretched it out in token of pardon forgiveness to her devoted
supplicant. It is a charter of pardon
