Once, in a fit of madness, after having been to a public dinner which took place just as this Ministry came in, I wrote the parody I send you enclosed, for Fonblanque. There is nothing in it but wrath ; but that's wholesome, so I send it you.
113 ページ - ... that same sea. It has such an absorbing, silent, deep, profound effect, that I can't help thinking it suggested the idea of Styx.

564 ページ - Hugh Littlejohn in his. Lockhart had been anxious to see me all the previous day (when I was away on the Campagna), and as we walked about I knew very well that he knew very well why.
