Hum I hope Lord Oldborough did not conceive that there was any want of empressement on my part I should have been here a full hour sooner, but that my ladies were so late at breakfast after sitting up and I thought your ladies might have been fatigued too but Miss Caroline Percy, I see, fresh as a rose "
Lord Oldborough, on his first retiring to Clermont-park, had informed Mr. Percy that he should wish to see him as soon as he had arranged certain papers.
In fact, to tell the truth, this subject had been debated between the partners, who saw the advantage of courting both the Establishment and the Dissenters a manoeuvre which, I need not say, is repeated in almost every country town in England, where a solicitor's house has this kind of power and connection. Three months after this election came the races at Oldborough, and the race-ball.
"I am happy, and, I believe, principally from the cause you have mentioned," said Lord Oldborough, who had a mind too great for the affectation of humility. "So far I am happy."
He said that he had fortunately had an opportunity one evening at his father's, when he was playing at chess with Lord Oldborough, of speaking to him on that subject, when none of his family was watching him. He told me that Lord Oldborough desires to see me, and has appointed his hour to-morrow morning.
"I have learned, no matter how," continued Lord Oldborough, "that, by some strange mistake, 35,000l of that subsidy were not remitted at the time appointed by us, and that discontents, likely to be prejudicial to his majesty's service, have arisen in consequence of this delay."

His eye glanced on the unopened letter. "Private, sir," said Lord Oldborough, in a stern voice, without moving his elbow from the paper: "whatever answer it may require, I shall have the honour to transmit to you for the cardinal." The abbe bowed low, left his address, and took leave.
The interpretation, when once given, appeared so simple, that Lord Oldborough wondered how it was possible that it had not before occurred to his mind. His satisfaction was great he was at this moment relieved from all danger of mistaking friend for foe; he felt that his enemies were in his power, and his triumph secure.
