"When my brother left us yesterday, he imagined that the business which took him to London might be concluded in three or four days; but as we are certain it cannot be so, and at the same time convinced that when Charles gets to town he will be in no hurry to leave it again, we have determined on following him thither, that he may not be obliged to spend his vacant hours in a comfortless hotel.
« Quand mon frere nous a quittés hier, il pensait pouvoir conclure en trois ou quatre jours l’affaire qui l’appelait a Londres, mais c’est certainement impossible et comme nous sommes convaincus, d’autre part, que Charles, une fois a Londres, ne sera nullement pressé d’en revenir, nous avons décidé de le rejoindre afin de lui épargner le désagrément de la vie a l’hôtel.
