CURRAN, conversing with Sir Thomas Turton, happened to remark that he
could never speak in public for a quarter of an hour without moistening
his lips; to which Sir Thomas replied that, in that respect, he had the
advantage of him: I spoke, said he, the other night in the House of
Commons for five hours, on the Nabob of Oude, and never felt in the
least thirsty.--It is very remarkable indeed rejoined Curran, for
every one agrees that was the driest speech of the session.
