"I have been dining at Hatchett's, with an old Paris acquaintance: I am sorry we did not meet more often in France, but I was so taken up with my friend Mr. Warburton."

The main stay of the democratic or Leicester faction was in the city of Utrecht, but the Earl had many partizans in Gelderland, Friesland, and in Overyssel, the capital of which Province, the wealthy and thriving Deventer, second only in the republic to Amsterdam for commercial and political importance, had been but recently secured for the Provinces by the vigorous measures of Sir William Pelham.
In his early life he wrote poems and dramas, under the influence of Byron; but his first notable work, Pelham , one of the best of his novels, was a kind of burlesque on the Byronic type of gentleman.

Have you seen any thing of Mr. Thornton lately?" "No," said I, "I've not, but I am determined to have that pleasure soon."
I was still lounging over my breakfast, on the second morning of my arrival, when Mr. N , the tailor, was announced. "Good morning, Mr. Pelham; happy to see you returned. Do I disturb you too early? shall I wait on you again?" "No, Mr. N , I am ready to receive you; you may renew my measure." "We are a very good figure, Mr.
