In delicate and ticklish discussions (of which, heaven knows, there are all too many in my book) - where I find I cannot take a step without the danger of having someone upon my back - I write one-half full, and t'other half hungry; or write it all full, and correct it fasting, or vice versa, for they come to the same thing. So I feel myself upon a par with my father in his first bed of justice, and no way inferior to him in his second.
