The abolition, indeed, was a foregone conclusion; but Mill's view was not in accordance with the doctrines of the thoroughgoing freetraders. His official experience, it seems, upon this and other matters deterred him from the a priori dogmatism too characteristic of his political speculations.

A little before dawn I was called and set out with the Colonel. He would scarce have liked a less responsible convoy, for he was a man who valued himself; nor could we afford him one more dignified, for Mr. Henry must not appear with the freetraders. It was a very bitter morning of wind, and as we went down through the long shrubbery the Colonel held himself muffled in his cloak.

This room is in the top of the house, and has a view upon the bay, and over a little wooded cape, on the long sands; and there, right over against the sun, which was then dipping, we saw the freetraders, with a great force of men and horses, scouring on the beach. Mr.

Of all these so-many and so-different persons who were acquainted with his presence, none had the least greed as I used to say in my annoyance or the least loyalty; and the man rode here and there fully more welcome, considering the lees of old unpopularity, than Mr. Henry and considering the freetraders, far safer than myself.

Nothing would be easier than to select from their speeches passages which would prove them to be Freetraders, and passages which would prove them to be protectionists.

But even then I was not quit, for the vixen threw up her window, and, leaning forth, continued to revile me as I went up the wynd; the freetraders, coming to the tavern door, joined in the mockery, and one had even the inhumanity to set upon me a very savage small dog, which bit me in the ankle.

I chuckled to myself as I ran through the documents; I rubbed my hands, I sang aloud in my glee. It is proper I should add in this place the very little I have subsequently angled out upon the doings of that night. It took me a long while to gather it; for we dared not openly ask, and the freetraders regarded me with enmity, if not with scorn.

"Candles?" he cried. And with that he ran to the window, opened it, and looked abroad. "It might be spied from the road." "Where none goes by at such an hour," I objected. "It makes no matter," he said. "One might. Hark!" cries he. "What is that?" It was the sound of men very guardedly rowing in the bay; and I told him so. "The freetraders," said my lord.

The freetraders had certainly secured the Master, though whether dead or alive we were still left to our conjectures; the rain would, long before day, wipe out all marks of the transaction; by this we must profit.
