However that may be, he now returned promptly to England, by way of Bergen, having shipped on a Danish vessel, and having sent before him in the heel of his sons shoe[5] the precious chattel which made his name famous, until, under his descendants, it acquired a different lustre.4 This was a prodigious diamond, to which he alludes in his correspondence as his grand concern, which he bought for 48,000l., and sold, after keeping it for some sixteen years, to the Regent of Orleans for the French Crown.

...He seems to have left 100,000l. in personal property, though some of that may have consisted in unsubstantial and unrealised advances to Lord Londonderry, or others of his children.6 He had bought land wherever he could find it (for the sake, perhaps, of influence as much as income), in London (Soho), Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorsetshire, Devonshire, and Cornwall, as well as that most marketable of assets, Old Sarum, and apparently other borough interests.

...He had heard, he says to his son, that your mother has been guilty of some imprudence at the Bath

... let it be what it will, in my esteem she is noe longer my wife, nor will I see her more if I can help it.[

...This genial picture of his offspring does not seem wholly imaginary, for the Governor proceeds: That you should dare to doe such an unnatural and opprobrious action as to turne your mother and sisters out of doors?-for which I observe your frivolous reasons, and was astonished to read them; and I no less resent what they did to your child at Stratford.9 But I see your hand is against every one of them, and every one against you, and your brother William to his last dying minute.

... He again reverts to the grievance of Roberts having turned his mother and sisters out of doors, though he calls them, in the same letter, an infamous wife and children, and states that he has discarded and renounced your mother for ever; apparently on suspicion, for he makes noe distinction between women that are reputed ill and such as are actually soe.
