Marryatt, when characterizing such misunderstandings by a humorous exaggeration, seems to have had in view this attempt on Cartagena: "The army thought that the navy might have beaten down stone ramparts ten feet thick; and the navy wondered why the army had not walked up the same ramparts, which were thirty feet perpendicular."
"Oh, if you'd seen her!" says he "such spindleshanks!" At this Marryatt gets behind him, draws a silken chair-back over his face, thus mercifully putting an end to his spoken recollections. "If I were you, Tita, I should order Randal off to bed," says Margaret, who, I regret to say, is laughing. "He has been up quite long enough for a child of his years."
