" I courted the society of a stranger, and a stranger I persecuted with insult : thus I asso- ciated with infamy, and thus my associate became known. I hoped, however, to convince Sir George that I had no knowledge of the wretch whose in- famy I had shared, except that which I acquired from the letter of his friend.
