At length the hopeless apathy in her eyes gave place to interest, then animation, and finally to a degree of agitation but ill-concealed from the suspicious watcher. They were standing on a low balcony just outside the ballroom. "Will you, dearest? Will you be brave for my sake for our sakes?" were Eldon's parting words.
If the philosophy of legal history were better understood in England, Lord Eldon's services would be less exaggerated on the one hand and better appreciated on the other than they appear to be among contemporary lawyers. Other misapprehensions too, which bear some practical fruit, would perhaps be avoided.
Eldon's obstinate tenacity of office, was attended with one good result. It saved the nation much money by keeping down the number of ex-Chancellors entitled to £4000 per annum.
Fox, Lady Jersey, Lady Pitt and her daughters, Lady A. Brudenell, Lady Harrowby, Lady G. Wortley, Lord Eldon's daughters, Lady Glengall, Mrs. and Miss Sheridan, the old Duchess of Richmond, Lady Manners, Lady Rolle, Lady Haddington, and many others. The intended row failed altogether. Only four carriages went down to Windsor. Halcomb and his two friends saw an equerry.
However, women don't see these faults in the men whom Love throws in their way. Shirker, who has about as much warmth as an eel, made up to Polly years and years ago, and was no bad match for a briefless barrister, as he was then. Have you ever read Lord Eldon's Life?

Not only did Lord Eldon's amendment preserve the Christian character of the Legislature, but the requirement to sign the declaration against Transubstantiation, which was unrepealed, left the Roman Catholics still under the same disqualifications as before. But the days of those disqualifications were manifestly numbered.
But the manner of his question was so singular, the introduction of Eldon's name so abrupt, that she could not but discern in a measure what was in his mind. She made reply: 'I don't understand. Do you mean how is he engaged? 'How comes he to know Mrs. Westlake? 'Through common friends some people named Boscobel. Mr. Boscobel is an artist, and Mr. Eldon appears to be studying art.
What do you mean by "particular friend"? I'm no more a friend of Eldon's than you are, and I've made no bargain with him. 'I didn't say you. 'Who then? he exclaimed sternly. 'Don't you know? Some one is so very proper, and such a fine lady, I shouldn't have thought she'd have done things without your knowing.
