Well, let me hope that matrimonial point will be settled; and now let me consider what next step I shall take for myself, myself, ay, only myself! With me perishes the last male of Brandon; but the light shall not go out under a bushel." As he said this, the soliloquist sunk into a more absorbed and silent revery, from which he was disturbed by the entrance of his servant.
While thus musing, the soliloquist came in direct personal contact with a tall gentleman, who carried his head very high in the air, and did not appear to see that he had nearly thrown our abstracted philosopher off his legs. "Zounds, sir, what do you mean?" cried the latter.
Besides, it might make me the prey to impostors; and in all probability he has either left the country, or adopted some mode of living which would prevent his daring to disclose himself!"
