` Yes , ' said his lordship ; ` your defence is very well written , Mr. Trevor ; and I have something to say to you about that matter . But I am a little drowsy at present . Ring for my night cap , niece ! If you will be with me to-morrow morning at ten o'clock , Mr. Trevor , we 'll talk the thing over . ' I then bade the lady and his lordship good night , and returned to Bruton-street , with my brain swimming with cogitations concerning bishops , nieces , deans , articles , sound divines , the church , the sons of the church , sensuality , obscenity , and innumerable associating but discordant ideas , that bred a strange confusion and darkness of intellect . _ The killing of the goose with the golden eggs _ The next morning my first business was with the bishop , and I took good care to be punctual . I knew not very well why , but the ardour of my expectations was in some sort abated .
