James' Gazette, the editor received several communications warning him that his contributor was abusing his good faith to put it in the mild French phrase. Shortly after noon on a sale day, the habitual customers of Messrs. Protheroe and Morris begin to assemble in Cheapside.
As it was settled amongst the parties, that Davis was to meet with no opposition from either MR. PROTHEROE or SIR SAMUEL ROMILLY, he expected a chairing on the Monday, amidst the shouts of some score or two of hired voices. How great was his surprise, then, and how great the consternation of his party, when they saw it announced that Mr. Hunt was about to make his appearance!
On the Sunday following these interviews dogged John was at church, and the butterfly Protheroe also. Thistlewood looked as he always looked, rudely healthy, and a masterpiece of masterfulness and sullen perseverance and resolve. Lane was pallid and miserable, and Bertha remarking him was compelled to fall back on the bitter consolation of her former thoughts.

Protheroe set that mellow whistle of his to work on 'The British Grenadiers, and his enemy smiled grimly to think how soon he would silence the music.

Richard Hart Davis, Esq Edward Protheroe, Esq. 1st. Henry Hunt, Esq. 2nd. Wm. Pimm, T. Pimm, Wm. Weech, T. Gamage, Electors. Counsel for Mr. Davis, Mr. Warren and Mr. Harrison. Counsel for Mr. Protheroe, Mr. Adam & Mr. Randle Jackson. Mr. Hunt appeared in person for himself and other petitioners.
He made a face ludicrously like the creature he mentioned. The old woman laughed outright, and Bertha smiled, though somewhat unwillingly. 'I don't like to hear Mr. Thistlewood made game of, Mr. Protheroe, she said a moment later. 'Don't you, Miss Fellowes? asked Mr. Protheroe. 'Then it shan't be done in your presence again.

"Mrs. Protheroe!" he exclaimed, taken aback. "I thought all the ladies were against it.
Indeed, one might have hazarded that there was something almost businesslike about it. The confused Senator from Stackpole, climbing out reluctantly, observed it not, nor could he have understood, even if he had seen, that delicate signal which passed between his two companions.
