<|reserved_special_token_11|><|reserved_special_token_21|> I was preoccupied with other matters and sent my regrets, but also extended an invitation for him to join me for dinner instead.
I ended up dining with Mr. Masham, his wife, and her sister, Mrs. Hill, who subsequently invited us to join her for dinner tomorrow, with plans also to go for a ride in the morning.
<|reserved_special_token_13|><|reserved_special_token_23|> I waited around in the cloisters until nine, then attended the music meeting, which I had been frequently invited to join; however, I grew tired of their elaborate performances within half an hour and attempted to slip out discreetly, yet ironically drew attention to myself - after which I again waited in the cloisters until past ten, at which point Patrick arrived.
<|reserved_special_token_14|><|reserved_special_token_24|> I cooled my heels in the cloisters till nine, then went in to the music-meeting, where I had been often desired to go; but was weary in half an hour of their fine stuff, and stole out so privately that everybody saw me; and cooled my heels in the cloisters again till after ten: then came in Patrick.<|end_of_text|>
<|reserved_special_token_12|><|reserved_special_token_22|> Which are circumstances that render them proper subjects for the charity of a writer's pen to work on, scenes of misery ever affording the fairest harvest for great adventures.
And in this the world may perceive the difference between the integrity of a generous Author and that of a common friend.
The latter is observed to adhere close in prosperity, but on the decline of fortune to drop suddenly off; whereas the generous author, just on the contrary, finds his hero on the dunghill, from thence, by gradual steps, raises him to a throne, and then immediately withdraws, expecting not so much as thanks for his pains; in imitation of which example I have placed Lord Peter in a noble house, given him a title to wear and money to spend.
<|reserved_special_token_13|><|reserved_special_token_23|> Nonetheless, I will remain true to my role as a historian, diligently tracking the truth in a meticulous and sequential manner, regardless of the developments that unfold or the path they may lead me down.
<|reserved_special_token_14|><|reserved_special_token_24|> However, I shall by no means forget my character of a historian, to follow the truth step by step whatever happens, or wherever it may lead me.<|end_of_text|>
<|reserved_special_token_11|><|reserved_special_token_21|> He stated that, according to his most accurate calculation, we were at least a hundred leagues apart.
<|reserved_special_token_13|><|reserved_special_token_23|> In response, he seemed to revert to thinking that my mind was unsettled, dropping a subtle hint to that effect, and then advised me to get some rest in a cabin he had arranged for me.
<|reserved_special_token_14|><|reserved_special_token_24|> Whereupon he began again to think that my brain was disturbed, of which he gave me a hint, and advised me to go to bed in a cabin he had provided.<|end_of_text|>
<|reserved_special_token_12|><|reserved_special_token_22|> These are some few distinguishing marks in the character of that person, who now presideth over the discontented party, although he be not answerable for all their mistakes; and if his precepts had been more strictly followed, perhaps their power would not have been so easily shaken.
<|reserved_special_token_13|><|reserved_special_token_23|> I have elaborated in portraying to the reader a sense of this extraordinary individual's character, because any attempt that has hitherto been made with even a semblance of strategy or likelihood of success to revive the dominance of that party was invariably conceived by him; and I predict the same will hold true for the future, as long as his age and infirmities permit him to remain engaged in public affairs.
