Content Description

Nothing would give him greater pleasure than to help Humphry and comply with Mr. Wyndham's wishes, but he has no interest with the current 1st Lord of the Treasury. He is sorry they have been deprived of his company. They are in an hourly expectation of an alarm from the Sussex coast, at which point all society would break up.
