'Tis not the palm that Mnestheus seeks: No hope of Victory fires his cheeks: Yet, O that thought! but conquer they To whom great Neptune wills the day: Not to be last make that your aim, And triumph by averting shame. King Richard the Third, Act IV. Sc. 2. Mr. G.P.R. James, author of Richelieu, etc. He afterwards took Maxpopple for the season. Mr.
W. Scott of Maxpopple. In the fairy tale of Countess D'Aulnoy Fortunio. See Johnson's Rambler, Nos. 204 and 205. Afterwards Sir Philip Crampton. "The Surgeon-General struck Sir Walter as being more like Sir Humphry Davy than any man he had met, not in person only, but in the liveliness and range of his talk." Life, vol. viii. p. 23. Gaelic for "old women."
My cousin, Maxpopple, was for taking notice of it, but I assured him that a man who had been wrong in the head all his life would scarce become right-headed after death. I felt something at parting with this old man, though but a trumpery body. He gave me the first approbation I ever obtained from a stranger. His caprice had led him to examine Dr.
Maxpopple came with us as far as Lessudden, and we stopped and made a pilgrimage to Fair Maiden Lilliard's Stone, which has been restored lately, to the credit of Mr. Walker of Muirhouselaw. Set my young clerk to work when we came home, and did some laborious business.
Had a letter from R.P.G. He seems in spirits about his work. I wish it may answer. Under good encouragement it certainly might. But Maxpopple came to dinner, and Mr. Laidlaw after dinner, so that broke up a day, which I can ill spare. Mr. Stewart left us this day. May 6. Wrought again at Hoffmann unfructuously I fear unwillingly I am certain; but how else can I do a little good in my generation?
A letter from Croker of a very friendly tone and tenor, which I will answer accordingly, not failing, however, to let him know that if I do not reply it is not for fear of his arguments or raillery, far less from diffidence in my cause. I hope and trust it will do good. Maxpopple and two of his boys arrived to take part of my poor dinner.
Maxpopple dined and slept here with four of his family, much amused with what they heard and saw. By good fortune a ventriloquist and partial juggler came in, and we had him in the library after dinner. He was a half-starved wretched-looking creature, who seemed to have ate more fire than bread.
