Ex Secretary, and that it appeared that every thing that
in this forced conference should pass between Mr H. Addington
and myself was designed to pass in the presence of Mr Long
the object of the summons seemed to have no other object
than the proceeding between myself and Mr Long a sort of
altercation for which they had prepared themselves, but for for which
altercation of which I could not see the use
use to me was another extreme surprize and to my
apprehension of no possible good use.

The conversation began by an observation on the part of
Mr H. Addington by an observation directed to me.
Mr H. Addington. Why Mr Bentham you are extremely impatient—very impatient indeed!
Mr Bentham. Impatient Sir? I really know not what
your meaning is—there must be some mistake in this. I never
asked for you: it was you asked for me. It was for
Mr Vansittart and him only that I asked for—and that
only because I had received from him a spontaneous
note, me to call upon him here. I have been
here these 2 or 3 hours. With your leave I will go to
him now: my fear is that he has never heard of my having
asked for him: while we are speaking he may be now thinking all this while that I have broken
my appointment and neglected him.

No this could not be: Mr Vansittart was just then engaged:
and since I was there something might be said in relation
to my letter of. But+ the charge of impatience was still
harped upon, over and over, as if it had had a real ground
just as if there had been a real ground for it. How stood the fact in regard to impatience? I had waited
for my answer from him already till the time for doing any thing upon
already till it was too late it was I had written nothing. I had
said nothing—I had done nothing: in a stick dead man or a stone could
not have been more patient: and for this patience what was
my reward? a repeated reprimand from the gentleman thus new in authority
and for my impatience. I was with astonishment think to
what further frauds
this strange self-betraying
bootless fraud could be
a preface.

+ so satisfied was
the Honourable Gentleman
with the part
that had just been
put into his hand.
