The cheering located our position for the enemy and drew his fire. Many a brave soldier who had gone to the front was put forever beyond the possibility of cheering by this outburst of ignorant enthusiasm. I acted on Col. Derby's advice, and he promised to send me word when the moment for proper action came.
Thus we may, perhaps, with little danger, relate the history of Fisher; who having long owed his bread to the generosity of Mr Derby, and having one morning received a considerable bounty from his hands, yet, in order to possess himself of what remained in his friend's scrutore, concealed himself in a public office of the Temple, through which there was a passage into Mr Derby's chambers.
There is now promise of amendment, which, I doubt, will be very slow, in respect to my Lord Derby's absence." My Lord Derby was at that moment, and for many months afterwards, assisting Valentine Dale in his classical prolusions on the sands of Bourbourg. He had better have been mustering the trainbands of Lancashire.

It is endorsed by Reeve 'Lord Derby's acrostic on Gladstone; but it does not appear whether the attributing it to Lord Derby was on positive knowledge or on mere current gossip.
Yet it is but a miserable rock, not worth the trouble I have been bestowing on it; and for a kingdom it has a sound indeed; but, in reality, I might as well stick a cock-chicken's feather into my hat, and call it a plume.
