The resolution of the Assembly was transmitted to Mr. Marryatt, who was also put in possession of the civil list difficulty, with instructions relative to the course of action which it was expected he would adopt. The Council felt annoyed. They looked upon the appointment of Mr. Marryatt as a dangerous assumption of legislative power by the Assembly alone.
The expediency of having an agent to represent the interests of the people, not the Executive of Canada only, in England, was next considered. It occurred to the House that some member of the imperial parliament might be induced to accept the agency, and it was resolved that Joseph Marryatt, Esquire, M.P., should be requested to act as such agent.
Indeed, their methods and ingenuity in evading rules and regulations and defying discipline were as original as they were persevering, and could the third-story room of the building occupied by the subject of this sketch be given tongue, it would tell a tale of frolic and drollery that would only find parallel in the inimitable pages of Marryatt.
Trio on Three Pianos. Duel from the Opera of "Midshipman Easy." Marryatt. coming in at nine, Thursday evening! Think of this, reader, for men who know the world is trying to go backward, and who would give their lives if they could help it on! Well! The double had succeeded so well at the Board, that I sent him to the Academy.
He can see she is not in earnest. "At all events, if true," says Mrs. Chichester, looking now at Miss Gower, and speaking in a confidential tone, "I am sure John will let me know about it." "John" is Major Chichester. Marryatt is leaning now so far over her that he is whispering in her ear. "Is this is this true?" questions he, in low but vehement tones. "It it may be.
Many stories are told at his expense; of how he made a formal call upon Dickens it was, in point of fact, Marryatt in his apartment, to be coolly told that when its occupant wanted him he would ring for him; and of how, investigating a strange box which had newly arrived from Florida, the prevailing opinion being that the live animal within was an alligator, he exclaimed, "Alligator, hell; it's a scorponicum."
Chichester suddenly hides her face behind her fan. "What a No!" says she to Captain Marryatt. "Did you hear it? What's the matter with him?" "He's jealous, perhaps," says Captain Marryatt. Mrs. Chichester gives way to wild, if suppressed, mirth. "Heavens! Fancy being jealous of one's own wife!" says she. "Now, if it had been anyone else's "
The latter is all smiles, and is now surrounded by a little court of admirers at the top of the room, Captain Marryatt, fatuous as ever, by her side, and the others encircling her. "Quite refreshing to see so many men all together," says she in a loud voice, addressing everybody at once. She likes an audience.
Chichester shake with laughter. "He'll find it a slight difference after Lady Rylton's waltzing," says she to Marryatt. "He'll find a difference in every way. Lady Selton is devoted to her husband " "And Lady Rylton " "Well!" He hesitates. "How vague! But I know, I know! By-the-bye," with a swift change of tone that quite deceives him, "which do you admire most?" "Oh, Lady Rylton, of course.
Chichester disgustedly. She is sitting near the window in the small drawing-room at Oakdean, watching the raindrops race each other down the panes. "What's the matter with it?" asks Mr. Gower, who is standing beside her, much to the annoyance of Captain Marryatt, who is anxious to engage her for some waltzes at the dance old Lady Warbeck is giving in the near future.
