ten at night
In a cool hour , resolutions might be formed , that should stand the attack of a boisterous jest . I obtained leave from Dr. Bartlett , to transcribe this part of the letter . I thought my uncle would be pleased with it . It was near ten at night , before Sir Charles got to Lord W -- 's , though but three miles from Sir Hargrave 's . My lord rejoiced to see him ; and , after first compliments , asked him , if he had thought of what he had undertaken for him . Sir Charles told him , that he was the more desirous of seeing him in his way to the Hall , because he wanted to know if his lordship held his mind as to marriage . He assured him he did , and would sign and seal to whatever he should stipulate for him .
