I see nothing but politicians, and talk about nothing but politics.
I have not read Village Belles.

Tell me, as soon as you can get it, whether it is worth reading.

As John Thorpe [The young Oxford man in "Northanger Abbey."] says "Novels! Oh Lord! I never read novels.

I have something else to do." Farewell.
T.B.M, To Hannah M.Macaulay, London: July 27, 1833.
My dear Sister,--Here I am, safe and well, at the end of one of the most stormy weeks that the oldest man remembers in Parliamentary affairs.
I have resigned my office, and my resignation has been refused.

I have spoken and voted against the Ministry under which I hold my place.
