Excerpt from The Young Duke, Vol. 2 of 2 So the game is up! Truly, a most lame and impotent conclusion!

Am I bitter on myself There will be enough to sing my praises, without myself joining in this chorus of congratulation. Oh! Fool, fool! Now I know what folly is.

Excerpt from The Young Duke, Vol. 2: "A Moral Tale, Though Gay" The door was opened, and the Duke of St. James took his seat in the Edinburgh and York Mail. He had two companions: the first, because apparently the most important, was a hard-featured, grey-headed gentleman, with a somewhat supercilious look, and a mingled air of acuteness and conceit; the other was a humble-looking widow in her weeds, middle-aged, and sad.
