<p>though he could not afford, within the time in<lb/> | |||
question two or three hours, (that being the time it <lb/> | |||
might be requisite for a visit from him to me,)<lb/> | |||
it did not follow that he might not be able to <lb/> | |||
afford the five minutes that might be made sufficient<lb/> | |||
in case of a visit from me to him. I<lb/> | |||
accordingly made a sort of exertion which I scarcely<lb/> | |||
make once a twelvemonth: I put on my<lb/> | |||
boots, and off trudged with My Book in one<lb/> | |||
<del>hand</del> <add>pocket</add>, and a rough but legible copy of so much as<lb/> | |||
related to My Brother in my two <del>mast</del> <add>last</add> letters<lb/> | |||
to you <add>in the other pocket</add>. Not choosing to <del>use</del> <add>lose</add> the working part of<lb/> | |||
my morning for nothing, I made such a riot<lb/> | |||
among the servants at the Ambassadors, as forced<lb/> | |||
them to bring down <del>to</del> M. de Colomb to quell it.<lb/> | |||
Compliments were put aside as nuisances, and<lb/> | |||
we were instantly upon the most confidential<lb/> | |||
terms: he anticipated my wish of having the Book<lb/> | |||
sent to you; and I could scarce get him to say he<lb/> | |||
would cast an eye over some part of it before he<lb/> | |||
sent it. I told him there were some other things<lb/> | |||
I wished him to see, which I could not bring with<lb/> | |||
me: he said he would come on Sunday if possible;<lb/> | |||
and if he could not he would let me know;<lb/> | |||

the sending of this scrawl. All this time we<lb/> | |||

out of our moufhts: he seems to be a man of<lb/> | |||

enough to appear hungry for it.</p> | |||
