Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay

CHAPTER I
68/120

Even yesterday, when I felt more real satisfaction than I have done for almost three months, I could not help feeling a sort of uneasiness, which indeed I have always felt more or less since I have been here, and which is the only thing that hinders me from being perfectly happy.

This day two months will put a period to my uneasiness.
"Fly fast the hours, and dawn th' expected morn." Every night when I lie down I reflect that another day is cut off from the tiresome time of absence.
Your affectionate son, THOMAS B.MACAULAY.
Shelford: April 26 1813.
My dear Papa,--Since I have given you a detail of weekly duties, I hope you will be pleased to be informed of my Sunday's occupations.

It is quite a day of rest here, and I really look to it with pleasure through the whole of the week.

After breakfast we learn a chapter in the Greek Testament that is with the aid of our Bibles, and without doing it with a dictionary like other lessons.

We then go to church.
