The idea of being married on the same day with her sister, she said, after all, was a mere childish fancy, for which no solid advantage should be hazarded; therefore she conjured her lover, not in heat of passion to precipitate things, but patiently to wait to return and apply to Lord Oldborough, if he should find that the representations he had already made to Lord Skrimpshire failed of effect.
Falconer, who at this time was in dreadful anxiety, he felt certain that Lord Oldborough would not punish him for the faults of his sons he was satisfied that his place and his pension would not he taken from him and that, at least in fortune, they should not be utterly ruined.
"A dangerous power," replied Lord Oldborough, turning from his secretary to Alfred, as if he were impatient to speak of business. Temple, who had more of the habits of a man of letters than of a man of business or of a courtier, was apt unseasonably to pursue a discussion, and to pique himself upon showing sincerity by declaring a difference of opinion from his patron.
"I beg I may not detain your majesty I see I am late," said Lord Oldborough. "Is the business urgent, my lord?" "No, sir; for it concerns principally myself: it can, therefore, wait your majesty's leisure at any hour your majesty may appoint." The king dismounted instantly. "This moment, my lord, I am at leisure for any business that concerns your lordship."

That his king had doubted him, his majesty had confessed and Lord Oldborough discerned that there was no genuine joy at the moment his majesty was undeceived, no real anxiety for his honour, only the ostensible manifestation suitable to the occasion repeatable or recordable.
Besides his general desire to be acquainted with the great, the commissioner had particular reasons for wishing to be introduced at this time to Lord Oldborough, and he had a peculiar cause for being curious about M. de Tourville. Mr. Falconer was in possession of the packet which that diplomatist had lost. It had been found by one of the commissioner's sons, Mr. John Falconer; or rather by Mr.
His grace was vexed to find Lord Oldborough still unmoved he was sure this tranquillity could not long endure: he continued, "A sad business, my lord a terrible discovery I really can hardly bring myself to speak " Lord Oldborough gave his grace no assistance. "My private regard," he repeated. A smile of contempt on Lord Oldborough's countenance.
Shaw, is a mere matter-of-fact man, who is particularly unsuited to him an objector to every thing new, a curtailer and contemner of all eloquence: poor Temple is uneasy and discontented; he would give up his situation to-morrow but that he cannot quit Lord Oldborough.
