I was with you tenyears ago when Mr Norrell did the magic in York Cathedral. Twenty! is not that the mostridiculous thing you ever heard? But I was possessed of such a desire towalk! Indeed I would have run, I think, if it were at all possible, but inLondon, you know . It wasempty; the dancers and musicians were gone. The only other creatures in the belfry are the rats and Ishould think that if any one is going to eat any one else, the rats will eat theFrenchmen.

Henrytalked a great deal about Great Hitherden and in the evening they playedécarte. Like an allegory of something or other. You can't. Dr Greysteel and Signor Tosetti took a candle each.
