CHAPTER
XI. page 52
`The first time I was at Brookes',' says Wilberforce,
`scarcely knowing any one, I joined, from mere shyness, in play
at the Faro tables, where George Selwyn kept bank. A friend, who
knew my inexperience, and regarded me as a victim decked out for
sacrifice, called to me--"What, Wilberforce, is that you?"
Selwyn quite resented the interference, and, turning to him, said
in his most expressive tone, "Oh, sir, don't interrupt Mr
Wilberforce, he could not be better employed."
Again: `The very first time I went to Boodle's I won twenty-five
guineas of the Duke of Norfolk. I belonged at this time to five
clubs--Miles' and Evans', Brookes', Boodle's, White's, and
Goosetree's.'
