Hastings's defence, I shall beg to quote them. The first is upon a governor who did what Mr. Hastings says he has a power delegated to him to do: he levied a tax without the consent of his master.
There is a dignity of station, which a man has in trust to preserve; there is a dignity of personal character, which every man by being made man is bound to preserve. But you see Mr. Hastings's idea of dignity has no connection with integrity; it has no connection with honest fame; it has no connection with the reputation which he is bound to preserve.
But the Duke is ready to take up the question here in Europe, if the Russians move towards India with views of evident hostility. He approves of a message going at once with orders to Macdonald. December 18. Chairs. They will consider favourably Mrs. Hastings's case; but she must address her representation to them.
That charity did not fail, though at first it could be but meagrely extended. Warren Hastings's grandfather was desperately poor. All he could do for his deserted grandchild was to place him at the charity school of the village.
Neither did she dream that last night's moon shone down on Dora Deane, a beautiful, blushing bride, who, with orange blossoms in her shining hair, and the deep love-light in her eye, stood by Mr. Hastings's side and called him her husband.

In the mean time Hastings's feud with his antagonists on the Council-board continued.
I would rather die than marry a man I did not love, because of his gold." "Noble girl!" was Mr. Hastings's involuntary exclamation, but Dora did not hear it, and looking him in his face, she said, "do you wish me to marry him?" "Never, never," he answered, "him, nor any one else!" "Then tell him so," said she, unmindful of the latter part of the remark.
I would have endeavored to support that credit, which it was much Mr. Hastings's interest to shake, and which he had before attempted to shake. Your Lordships will have the goodness to suppose me now making my apology, and by no manner of means intending to persist either in this, or in anything which the House of Commons shall desire me not to declare in their name.
Hastings's accounts, so here no two people are permitted to have any share whatever in bringing the several fragments that make up this sum. This bribe, you might imagine, would have been entered by Mr. Larkins to some public account, at least to the fraudulent account of Mr. Hastings. No such thing.
