We usually met for this purpose at nine in the evening, and we seldom parted till one, and sometimes not till three in the morning.

When our eyes were inflamed by the candle, or tired by fatigue, we used to relieve ourselves by walking out within the precincts of Lincoln's Inn, when all seemed to be fast asleep, and thus, as it were, in solitude and in stillness to converse upon them, as well as upon the best means of the further promotion of our cause.

These scenes of our early friendship and exertions I shall never forget.

I often think of them both with astonishment and with pleasure.

Having recruited ourselves in this manner, we used to return to our work.
