for one of
the
law-courts--still
the same
equanimity,
and I
could not
resist the
opportunity
of asking
the old
gentleman
the
secret.
'Well, Mr.
Boyd, you
shall know
it. Mr.
Pitt gave
it to
me:--NOT
TO LOSE MY
TEMPER, IF
POSSIBLE,
AT ANY
TIME, AND
NEVERDURING
THE HOURS
OF
BUSINESS.
My labours
here (Bank
of
England)commence
at nine
and end at
three;
and,
acting on
the advice
of the
illustrious
statesman,
I NEVER
LOSE MY
TEMPER
DURINGTHOSE
HOURS.'"
