The House divided: when there were seventy-nine for the motion, and against it, twenty. On the 27th of June the bill was opposed in its last stage by Sir W. Young, Messrs. Dickenson, Mr. Rose, Addington, and Dent.; and supported by: Messrs. Pitt, W. Smith, Francis, and Barham; when it was carried by a majority of sixty-nine to thirty-six.
On Wednesday, the 30th of March, 1726, Burnworth, Blewit, Berry Dickenson, Levee, and Higgs, were all put into a waggon, handcuffed and chained, and carried to Kingston under a guard of the Duke of Bolton's horse.
A sort of panic seized her; she blushed deeply, retreated precipitately to the door, and vanished, murmuring thanks and apologies as she went. "Did you find him? I thought you had forgotten," said Miss Dickenson, now hard at work. "Yes, I found him. No, I shall not forget," returned Psyche, thinking of Gage, not Giovanni.
Dickenson, and by and by comes in Mr. Turner, a worthy, sober, serious man I honour him mightily. And there we dined, having but an ordinary dinner; and so, after dinner, she, and I, and Roger, and his mistress, to the Duke of York's playhouse, and there saw "The Five Hours' Adventure," which hath not been acted a good while before, but once, and is a most excellent play, I must confess.

The continental troops ordered from Peekskill, who had been detained for a time by an incursion from New York, were approaching; and a reinforcement of Jersey militia, under General Dickenson, was also expected. To these powerful motives against risking an engagement, other considerations of great weight were added, founded on the condition of his soldiers.
Sonnings answered, an hundred: Dickenson, said no: and so they protested and swore on both parts.
As a representation of a mathematician in the throes of thought, I know nothing to equal his portrait by Dickenson, which now hangs in the hall of Trinity College, Cambridge, and is reproduced in the sixth volume of Cayley's collected works. His life was that of a man moved to investigation by an uncontrollable impulse; the only sort of man whose work is destined to be imperishable.
Scarlett Trent had turned round in his chair, and was eying the pale, nervous figure with a certain hard disapproval. "That's a beastly coat you've got on, Dickenson," he said. "Why don't you get a new one?" "I am standing in a strong light, sir," the young man answered, with a new fear at his heart. "It wants brushing, too. I will endeavour to get a new one very shortly."
Her laugh rang all through the House. "That's all right!" she cried. "He's shown unequivocal signs of an attachment which. Well what more do you want? Oh, Aunt Connie, I'm so glad!" All that followed had for Miss Dickenson the same dream-world character, but of a dream in which she retained presence of mind. Because there was no trusting Gwen. However, she got through it very well.
