THE BEDFORD…ROW CONSPIRACY
William Pitt Scully; Esquire; was; as Mr。 Crampton said; hugely
annoyed at the loss of the place for his nephew。 He had still; however;
his hopes to look forward to; but these were unluckily dashed by the
coming in of the Whigs。 As for Sir George Gorgon; when he came to ask
about his peerage; Hawksby told him that they could not afford to lose him
in the Commons; for a Liberal Member would infallibly fill his place。
And now that the Tories are out and the Whigs are in; strange to say a
Liberal does fill his place。 This Liberal is no other than Sir George
Gorgon himself; who is still longing to be a lord; and his lady is still
devout and intriguing。 So that the Members for Oldborough have
changed sides; and taunt each other with apostasy; and hate each other
cordially。 Mr。 Crampton still chuckles over the manner in which he
tricked them both; and talks of those five minutes during which he stood
on the landing…place; and hatched and executed his 〃Bedford…Row
Conspiracy。〃
