And the same grace was shown in regard to Lord Drummond, who remained at the Colonies, keeping the office to which he had been lately transferred under Mr. Daubeny. And Sir Gregory Grogram said not a word, whatever he may have thought, when he was told that Mr. Daubeny's Lord Chancellor, Lord Ramsden, was to keep the seals.
Jean had not the heart to say another word to Babet about the French gown. In truth, he thought she looked very pretty in it, better than in grogram or in linsey-woolsey, although at double the cost. He only winked knowingly at Babet, and went on to speaking of the Bourgeois. "They say the King has long hands, but this Intendant has claws longer than Satan.
The manipulation of this measure had been one of the causes of the prolonged sitting of the Houses. "Grogram says they will take the amendments." "And if they don't?" "Why then," said Mr. Monk, "the Lords must take our rejection." "And we shall have been beaten," said the Duke. "Undoubtedly." "And beaten simply because the House desires to beat us.
But then there is the knight your father, and my lady your mother; and there is her father, that is half crazy with his religion; and her aunt that wears eternal black grogram for that unlucky Colonel Christian; and there is the Countess of Derby, that would serve us all with the same sauce if we were thinking of anything that would displease her.
The dress she wore, without being gay, was costly: the full skirt of crimson grogram descended not so low as to prevent her small and beautifully-turned ankle from being distinctly seen, and the cardinal of wrought purple velvet, which had been hastily flung over her shoulders, was lined and bordered with the finest ermine.

It was a period of awful suspense betwixt the opening of the outward gate and that of the door of the apartment, when there appeared no guard with bayonets fixed, or watch with clubs, bills, or partisans, but a good-looking young woman, with grogram petticoats, tucked up for trudging through the streets, and holding a lantern in her hand.
If an argumentative speaker ever proved anything, Miss Macmanus proved that General Chasse had never been the wearer of the article in question. "But I know very well they were his!" said Miss Grogram, who was not an impartial hearer. "Of course they were; whose else's should they be?" "I'm sure I hope they were his," said one of the young ladies, almost crying.
"Well, girls," she said, "as you are all served, I don't see why I'm to be left out. Perhaps, Miss Grogram" she was an old maid, you see "perhaps, Miss Grogram, you could get me as much as would make a decent-sized reticule." There was not the slightest difficulty in doing this.
