But when Stanley Ginsling appeared upon the scene, and they learned he was the scion of an old and aristocratic family a near kin to a live lord their vain, selfish, and artificial minds became excited, and they determined, if possible, to have the latter allied with the house of Sealy, then they turned against Barton. From this time Mrs.
Sealy especially gave the latter to understand his visits were simply tolerated, and Mr. Sealy took no pains to conceal the fact that something had transpired to change his views in regard to him. Barton went one evening determined, if possible, to discover the cause of their coldness.
Rivers, in a private conversation that he managed to have with Sealy, said with a chuckle: "We have them as good as beaten already, for we have here the principal part of the men before whom the cases must be tried." "That's so," replied Sealy, "but we will have some hard fighting to do first." The party broke up in the small hours of the morning.
They all joined in a laugh at Flannigan's Hibernianism. "That is a genuine Irish bull, Captain," said Sealy. "But as we are here we may as well have an informal talk as to the best course to pursue in the present contingency. In my opinion, it is our best policy not to make a very strong fight this time. I would be for almost letting them have a walk over.
They were the wife and daughter of John Sealy, Esq., whom we have already introduced to our fit readers. "I don't think, Luella," said the mother, "you should hesitate for a moment in deciding between Bill Barton and Mr. Ginsling." "Neither do I, mother; but while I would prefer the former, I should judge, from your accent on the 'Bill, your preference would be given to the latter."
And I also have an idea there was an understanding between Murdon and Sealy. The fact is, the bench consisted of two old geese and a fox. Two of them were lukewarm supporters, who would 'damn it with faint praise; and the third was a rabid opponent, and he was the only one who was qualified, either by native or acquired ability, for the position." "But I thought, Mr.
"Yes, and and I don't think he's my master, unless it's in dollars." "Ah! And who saved you from the shark?" "A young French officer, bless him! He harpooned my sealy friend, and found a friend for life, though it a'n't much a poor sailor-fellow can do for an officer. And, though we're at war with the French, I'd be hanged sooner than fire at his ship."
Miss Sealy perceived the state they were in, and blaming the former for leading her brother to thus debase himself, gave him to understand his presence was extremely distasteful to her, and that he might consider their engagement broken off; for, no matter what influence might be brought to bear, she had made up her mind, after what had just transpired, she would never marry him.
Of course the proprietor, John Rivers, was present; and beside him were Sealy, Townly, Sims, Porter, Tims, Ginsling, McWriggler, Bottlesby, Flannigan, and a disreputable lawyer by the name of Murdon. The Act had now been law for over a month.
It was about a month after John, jun., and his wife had commenced housekeeping that Miss Sealy came to spend a week or two with them. She, in fact, thought she might have a restraining influence upon him, as he had genuine affection for her, whom he had always found to be an affectionate sister and true friend.
