[The Palmy Days of Nance Oldfield by Edward Robins]@TWC D-Link bookThe Palmy Days of Nance Oldfield CHAPTER VII 19/22
The story concerns Savage, but Steele is the hero of it, and as winsome Dick is always welcome, we may take leave of the other Dick in a pleasant way. Savage was once desired by Sir Richard (says Johnson), with an air of the utmost importance, to come very early to his house the next morning.
Mr.Savage came as he had promised, found the chariot at the door, and Sir Richard waiting for him and ready to go out.
What was intended, and whither they were to go, Savage could not conjecture, and was not willing to inquire; but immediately seated himself with Sir Richard.
The coachman was ordered to drive, and they hurried with the utmost expedition to Hyde Park Corner, where they stopped at a petty tavern and retired to a private room.
Sir Richard then informed him that he intended to publish a pamphlet, and that he had desired him to come thither that he might write for him.
