By the influence of his friend Mallet he became tutor to Lord Binning, s. of the Earl of Haddington, and was introduced to Pope, Arbuthnot, Gay, and others. Winter was pub. in 1726, and was followed by Summer , Spring , and Autumn , when the whole were brought together as The Seasons.
"Kate is learning constitutional principles from Haddington in the shrubbery. Lady Claudia is learning sacerdotal principles from Stafford in the shrubbery. My mother is learning equine principles from Bob Territon in the stables. You are learning immoral principles from Morewood on the lawn. I don't complain, but is there anything a man can do?"
If you only knew " "What?" "I mustn't tell you. How sad that it's too late!" "Is it?" "Of course. They're engaged!" "An engagement isn't a marriage. If I thought " "Yes?" "But I can't think of that now. Good-by, Claudia. We may not meet again." "Oh, you won't go away? You mustn't let me drive you away. Oh, please, Mr. Haddington! Think, if you go, it must all come out!
In this crisis Sir Henry received a letter from Fairfax, who, with his victorious army, was at Haddington, demanding the surrender of Worcester. The following was Colonel Washington's reply: SIR, It is acknowledged by your books and by report of your own quarter, that the king is in some of your armies.
His favourite quotations in those days were Macbeth's "To-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow"; Burns's line, "Had we never lo'ed sae kindly," thinking of the tomb which he was wont to kiss in the gloamin' in Haddington Church, the lines from "The Tempest" ending, "our little life is rounded with a sleep," and the dirge in "Cymbeline."
And you will do what I ask?" "If I don't, what will you do?" "I shall write to Eugene. I shall see Haddington; and I shall see your aunt. I shall tell them all that I know, and how I know it. Come, Miss Bernard, don't be foolish. You had better take Haddington." "I know it's all a plot. You're all fighting in that little creature's interest." "Meaning ?" "Claudia Territon.
A little longer, and the first torch is kindled and begins to flit rapidly across the ice in a ring of yellow reflection, and this is followed by another and another, until the whole field is full of skimming lights. ON three sides of Edinburgh, the country slopes downward from the city, here to the sea, there to the fat farms of Haddington, there to the mineral fields of Linlithgow.
The conversation here became so low in tone that Ayre, to his vast disgust, was unable to overhear it. The next words that reached his ear came again from Haddington. "Well, I will wait I will wait three months. If nothing happens then, you will break it off?" A gentle "Yes" floated up to the eavesdropper. "Though why you want him to break it off rather than yourself, I don't know."
Inferior to her husband in humourous description, as in depth of thought, she surpassed him in liveliness of wit, in pungency of satire, and in terseness of expression. Her narrative is inimitable, and sometimes, as in the account of her solitary visit to her old home at Haddington twenty-three years after her marriage, her dramatic power is overwhelming.
What they wish to have in Ireland is not my Lord Haddington, or any other viceroy whom the right honourable Baronet may select, but the tyranny of race over race, and of creed over creed. Give them what they want; and you convulse the empire. Refuse them; and you dissolve the Tory party.
