"I've clean neglected that old lady and her brew. I suppose 'tis dreadful stuff?" he goes on, rather anxious-like, lifting an eye towards the old Squire. "I've never had the privilege to taste it," says the Squire. "Oh, 'tis none so bad," puts in the Major carelessly. "Why, Dyngwall how the Dickens alive do you know?" "I dropped in the other day in fact, I've called once or twice.
For one solid hour they sat there, fairly daunting the crowd: but as the church clock struck eleven, Major Dyngwall, the candidate that was talking to old Parson Polsue, and carrying it off very fairly puts his eyeglass up of a sudden, and, says he, "Amazons, begad!" meaning, as I have heard it explained, that here were some out-of-the-common females.
And with that she almost laughed out, for a worse peacemaker the Whigs couldn't have chosen. But Major Dyngwall had sent him, having none to advise, and being near to his wits' end, poor young man.
Like wildfire it flew about the church that the Duke's party and the Parson had quarrelled, and this was a public protest.

But look ye here, Dyngwall," says he, "I can't have you skirmishing on your own account in this fashion. If there's a baby left to be kissed in this town or anything older, for that matter we go shares, my lad."
Do, please, go back!" "Go back? Not a bit of it! You're quite right, sir disgrace to a Christian country high time for a public example stand to it, sir, and the Bishop will have to interfere. Three cheers for the Red and Orange! Three cheers for Religion and no Abuses! Three cheers for Lord William and Major Dyngwall! Hip-hip-hooray!"
