This article, it is proper to observe, was a benefaction to Mr. Gillies, whose pecuniary affairs rendered such assistance very desirable. Scott's generosity in this matter for it was exactly giving a poor brother author £100 at the expense of considerable time and drudgery to himself I think it necessary to mention; the date of the exertion requires it of me."

The former Archbishop of Cologne accepted Linz from my ancestress Matilda." "That was intended to be but a temporary loan." "Well; call my benefaction temporary if you like, to be kept until I call for it, but meanwhile to be used at your discretion." "It is quite impossible," said the Archbishop firmly. "Does that mean you will not allow me to adopt the religious life?"
