The time fixed was twenty-five years. The bill, having passed the Lords, came down to the House of Commons. On the sixth of June 1844, the second reading was moved by the Attorney General, Sir William Follett. Sir Robert Inglis, Member for the University of Oxford, moved that the bill should be read a second time that day six months: and the amendment was seconded by Mr Plumptre, Member for Kent.
The story runs, that early in the January of 1845, whilst George Stephenson, Dean Buckland, and Sir William Follett were Sir Robert Peel's guests at Drayton Manor, Dean Buckland vanquished the engineer in a discussion on a geological question.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters." He fell asleep again with a feeling of pity for the little man.

You see, it sounds so almighty sane!" Back in the crowd Prudence and Follett had lingered a little at the latter's suggestion, for he had caught the drift of the talk.

He stopped, for there had been an indistinct sound from where her father sat, now in the gloom of the evening. She called to him: "Did you speak, father?" There was no reply or movement from the figure in the chair, and Follett resumed: "I guess he was just asleep and dreaming about something.
