William Hazlitt, the critic and essay
list, wrote with a satirical pen. But,
like most satirists, he was very sensi-
tive. and bitterly resented any attack
upon himself. So irritably alive was he
to Sights that if a friend passed him in
the street without seeing him, he would
at once decide that he had been inten-
tionally ''cut," fly into an absurd pas
sion, and if possible, pillory the offender
in an essay.
Blackwood's Magazine persistently
attacked 'Hazlitt, who was "A liberal in
politics. and therefore opposed to the
literary representative of Scotch tory

sonal, and so depressed the morbidly

those who hold otherwise, but the ques-

travel the whole road alone. He turned

from. There, at least, there was femi-

he came upon her, one day. some five

that she was pnrposely goading her

black eyes looked AT him innocently.

Lovat looked at her searchingly. He
suspected guile behind such unnatural

He did not answer, but turned and rode
