Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay

CHAPTER IV
175/204

I heard only one word from Lord Plunket, who was remarkably silent.

He spoke of Doctor Thorpe, and said that, having heard the Doctor in Dublin, he should like to hear him again in London.

"Nothing easier," quoth Littleton; "his chapel is only two doors off; and he will be just mounting the pulpit." "No," said Lord Plunket; "I can't lose my dinner." An excellent saying, though one which a less able man than Lord Plunket might have uttered.
At midnight I walked away with George Lamb, and went--where for a ducat?
"To bed," says Miss Hannah.

Nay, my sister, not so; but to Brooks's.
There I found Sir James Macdonald; Lord Duncannon, who had left Littleton's just before us; and many other Whigs and ornaments of human nature.

As Macdonald and I were rising to depart we saw Rogers, and I went to shake hands with him.
