Such were among the observations his ignorant blunders produced; and he who, as Handy Andy, had been anathematised all his life as a "stupid rascal," "a blundering thief," "a thick-headed brute," &c., under the title of Lord Scatterbrain all of a sudden was voted "vastly amusing a little eccentric, perhaps, but so droll in fact, so witty!"
