He remembered that
Mr. M-- had expressed himself with all the humanity of apprehension
in favour of the unfortunate young nobleman, before his arrival
in England; and, being well acquainted with the generosity of his
disposition, he no sooner understood that he was returned from
France, than he waited upon him with an account of Mr. A--'s being
safely arrived. Mr. M-- was sincerely rejoiced to find, that a
person who had been so cruelly injured, and undergone so long and
continued a scene of distress, was restored to a country where
he was sure of obtaining justice, and where every good man, as he
imagined, would make the cause his own. And being informed that
the youth was in want of necessaries, he gave twenty guineas to H--
for his use, and promised to do him all the service in his power;
but had no intention to take upon himself the whole weight of
such an important affair, or indeed to appear in the cause, until
he should be fully and thoroughly satisfied that the claimant's
pretensions were well founded.
"In the meantime, H-- insinuating that the young gentleman was not
safe in his present lodging from the machinations of his enemies,
M-- accommodated him with an apartment in his own house; where
he was at great pains to remedy the defect in his education, by
rendering him fit to appear as a gentleman in the world.
