'Started [for Edinburgh] at half past four and arrived at home if we must call it so at nine o'clock in the evening. I employd my leisure in the chaise to peruse Mure of Auchendrane's trial out of which something might be cooperd up for the publick. It is one of the wildest stories I ever read. Something might surely be twisted out of it.' |
