9 My mistress before I went this campaign sent me John Lockwood out of
Walcote, who hath ever since remained with me.--H. E.

10 This passage in the memoirs of Esmond is written on a leaf inserted
into the MS. book, and dated 1744, probably after he had heard of
the duchess's death.

11 Our grandfather's hatred of the Duke of Marlborough appears all
through his account of these campaigns. He always persisted that the
duke was the greatest traitor and soldier history ever told of: and
declared that he took bribes on all hands during the war. My lord
marquis (for so we may call him here, though he never went by any
other name than Colonel Esmond) was in the habit of telling many
stories which he did not set down in his memoirs, and which he had
from his friend the Jesuit, who was not always correctly informed,
and who persisted that Marlborough was looking for a bribe of two
millions of crowns before the campaign of Ramillies.

And our grandmother used to tell us children, that on his first
presentation to my lord duke, the duke turned his back upon my
grandfather; and said to the duchess, who told my lady dowager at
Chelsea, who afterwards told Colonel Esmond--"Tom Esmond's bastard
has been to my levee: he has the hang-dog look of his rogue of a
father"--an expression which my grandfather never forgave. He was as
constant in his dislikes as in his attachments; and exceedingly
partial to Webb, whose side he took against the more celebrated
general. We have General Webb's portrait now at Castlewood, Va.

12 'Tis not thus _woman loves_: Col. E. hath owned to this folly for a

charming, for where was his equal?--R.

mentioned, a very active and loyal Nonconformist divine,
