The drovers of course held themselves free of responsibility. Hood felt in his own pocket; but he was well aware that a shilling and three-halfpence was all he carried with him save the bank-note in his pocket-book. Yet it was impossible to go through Hebsworth with uncovered head, or to present himself hatless at the office of Legge Brothers.
Hucker himself, I am sure, would place his sword at your disposal. But his brother is a red-hot Tory." "Well, well," sighed the Duke, "I take it we must not make certain of Mr. Hucker. Are there any others besides Legge and Hooper upon whom you think that we may reckon?" "Lord Wiltshire, perhaps," said Battiscomb, but with a lack of assurance.
Secretary Legge, dated London, May 4, 1740, and addressed to Dublin Castle, expresses very naively an English official's feelings about the terrible frost and famine of that year: "I hope the weather, which seems mending at last, will be of service to Ireland, and comfort our Treasury, which, I am afraid, has been greatly chilled with the long frost and embargo."
The allusion is to the Pygmalion who was Dido's brother, and who murdered her husband, the priest Sichæus, for his riches. This beautiful and affecting image is followed in the original by one of the most fantastical conceits of the time. "Chi nel viso de gli uomini legge o m o, Bene avria quivi conosciuto l'emme."
Then at length it occurred to Hood that time must be wearing away; he spoke of the obligation he was under to finish his business and return to Dunfield as soon as possible.

My curiosity led me to look in the Pastor Fido for the famous passage of Legge humana, inhumana, &c. and it was observable enough that he had written it three different ways before he pitched on that peculiar expression which caused his book to be prohibited.
'I should have thought you would find so little here to amuse you. 'I have found you; and, in addition to that, duchesses and their daughters without number. They expect Prince George! 'Do they? 'And Legge Wilson from the India Office is here already. I spoke to him in some jewelled bower as I made my way here, not five minutes since. It's quite a success.
Far from being mad, I am actually the only rational man named Legge in the three kingdoms. I will prove this to you, and at the same time keep your indiscretion in countenance, by telling you something I ought not to tell you. It is this. I am not here as an invalid or a chance tourist. I am here to investigate the miracle.
Legge, in his "Life and Teachings of Confucius," p. 113, has an interesting paragraph summing up the doctrine of the sage upon the subject of revenge.
