Hayley had then left him, or rather had been gently forced out of his house; and, afterwards when she begged for leave to return, was denied it.
Lord Holland, the best informed and most elegant of our writers on the subject of the Spanish theatre, declared that he had been induced to learn that language by what Hayley had written concerning the poet Ercilla.
