Without for an instant losing the Lieutenant-Governor's eye, Rathbawne reached out and touched his daughter on the arm. "Oh, Dad!" she said reproachfully. "There's no need for her to go, sir," added Barclay, "unless you wish it. I bring only good news."
If they decided to remain faithful, they wished to know what were the lieutenant-governor's intentions towards them. On receiving this memorial Lawrence ordered the deputies of the Acadians to remain in Halifax, on the ground that the paper was impertinent.

At the end of dinner, Mr. Broadbent leaves his place and walks up behind the Lieutenant-Governor's chair, where he says grace, returning to his seat and resuming his knife and fork when this work of devotion is over.
