Carruthers had no inclination to laugh. His eyes were dim as he murmured his acknowledgments. It was fame, it was fortune, in those parts to be approved by Lady Anne Hamilton.

Six were taken in Pownall last year, and two hundred foxes. Sometimes they appear on the hills, in close proximity to this village. September 7th. Mr.
Yet in 1769 the Ministry could not avoid recognizing that as financial measures the Townshend duties were a hopeless failure, since their net proceeds were less than 300 pounds and the increased military expenses were declared by Pownall to be over 170,000 pounds.

Pownall, invoked by the official bell, appeared upon the scene. But he could not play his part; he was obliged to say that there was no such letter.
