"If I am right in my own persuasion that such a document as I here describe is at this moment in Admiral Bartram's possession a persuasion based, in the first instance, on the extraordinary words that I have quoted to you; and, in the second instance, on purely legal considerations with which it is needless to incumber my letter if I am right in this opinion, the discovery of the Secret Trust would be, in all probability, a most important discovery to your interests.
Kemble, frisky and fragmentary, excepting when her father was concerned, and then filially diffuse, Mrs. Trollope, who refused to incumber herself with amiability or veracity, Mr.
Of the butler they got a copper of good ale, and then, both expressing their thankfulness, departed.—Having reached some distance from the house there arose a dispute who should carry the victuals, both being loath to incumber themselves with it, as having neither wife nor child near to give it to. Mr.
His feathers, his head dress, and his other ornaments, are but light, and will be very agreeable to his spirit. His pipe also will afford him amusement on the road.

Believe me, let it alone; as I told you in my last letter, the fire lighted, will acquire greater force every day, and you will see, that without having said you love, you will be farther advanced than if you were frightened by avowals which our fathers insisted should worry the women. Avowals absolutely useless in themselves, and which always incumber a passion with several nebulous days.
