                            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。〃
