LORD ELDON7B FULFILMENT OF A PROMISB.--"'";
1783, when Mr. Scott, afterwards Lord Eldon, first became a
candidate for the borough of Weobly, he was received all
lodged in the house of Mr. Bridge, the Vicar,
who, hiving s
,
daughter then a young child, took a jocular promise fo,';
him, that if he should ever become Chancellor
and the little
girl's husband should be a clergvman, the Chancellor would
give that clergyman a living. ''ow comes the sequel,.partl„
,
related by Lord Eldon himself to his niece (Mrs. Foster 4
" Years rolled on—l came into office; when one morning ;
was told a young lady wished to speak to me; and I said that
young ladies must be attended to, so they must show her 111);
And up came a very pretty young lady, and she curtsied
and simpered, and said she thought I could not recollect "4
1 answered I certainly did riot, but perhaps she could recall
herself to my memory; so she asked if I remembered theA.
clergyman at Weobly, and his little girl, to whom I had
ins a promise. ' Oh, ves!' I said, ' I do, and 1 suppose you are
the little girl.' ' Shee curtsied; and said ' Yes.' ' And -I slit',"
pose you are married to a clergyman ?' 4 No,' she said, n'''
she blushed, ' I am only going to be married. to one, if you'
my Lord, will give hint a living' Well; I-told her tc, coo' back in a few nays; and I rustle inquiries to ascertain from
the Bishop of the dirioese that the gentleman she was golog
to be married to was a respectable clergyman of the Churoh of England; and then I looked at my list, and found I ado ally had .a living vacant that I could give him. So when`
the young lady came hack, I told her she might return NI
3% and get married as fast as she liked, for her intended husband
s 'should be presented to a living, and I would seed the paper'
2 as soon as they could be made out. ' Oh, no!' she
exclaimed/
3 and again she simpered, and blushed, and curtsied ; pray, 111
7 Lord, let me take them back myself.' I was a good des,
10 amused, so- I actually had the papers made out, and I sign
5 . Oem, and she took them back herself the following day. '
