Although privately censuring Palliser's conduct, the Commander-in-Chief made no official complaint, and it was not until the matter got into the papers, through the talk of the fleet, that the difficulty began which resulted in the trial of both officers, early in the following year. After this, Keppel, being dissatisfied with the Admiralty's treatment, intimated his wish to give up the command.
"There was a fellow I knew in New York who used to sell type-writers, and he had a thing to say he used to reel off when any one looked like a customer. He used to call it his 'spiel." Palliser's quick glance at him asked questions, and his stiffness did not relax itself. "Is this New York chaff?" he inquired coldly. "No," Tembarom said. "You're not doing it for ten per. He was"
And here it must be acknowledged that Mr Palliser's wife had not done much to ingratiate herself with Mr Palliser's cousins; not perhaps so much as she should have done, seeing that she found them in her husband's house. She had taught herself to think that they were hard, stiff, and too proud of bearing the name of Palliser.
And now that she discovered Ida Palliser's near relationship to a baronet of old family, owner of a fine property within thirty miles of Kingthorpe, Urania began to feel that she must needs be distanced in the race.

I mean to be in for the next three sessions, and I mean to see Palliser's measure carried through the House of Lords next session.
