And stepping back, he spoke a few words with Empson the musician, who left the apartment, for a few minutes, and presently returned. The King seemed irresolute concerning the part he should act under circumstances so peculiar.
"Hold, hold," said the King; "this is a dance to another tune, and not fit for a place so public. Hark thee, friend; do thou and the young woman follow Empson where he will conduct thee. Empson, carry them hark in thy ear." "May it please your Majesty, I ought to say," said Peveril, "that I am guiltless of any purpose of intrusion "

Either Hell aids him, or Heaven looks nearer into mortal dealings than I have yet believed. If so, may God forgive us, who deemed he thought not on us at all!"

The chief original authorities are a life by Bishop Otter, prefixed to a second edition of the Political Economy , and an article by Empson, Malthus's colleague, in the Edinburgh Review for January 1837.

Thou thinkest thou art born to beat time, but I will have time beat into thee." The hint was sufficient, and Empson took good care so to perform his air as to merit his high and deserved reputation. But on Fenella it made not the slightest impression.
