Perhaps we are getting too panegyrical, for panegyric savours of the poppy; but we must not flinch from our duty. Allan Cunningham there is poetry in the name, written or sung and high-wrought poetry too, in nearly every production to which that name is attached and among these "The Anniversary for 1829." Mr. Whittingham's Chiswick-press.
"I don't know. He might and he might not. He'll probably act as if he didn't." I appreciated the justice of this forecast of General Whittingham's measures. "Well, we must chance it," I said. "At any rate, better be caught by him than stay here. We were, perhaps, a little hasty with that revolution of ours." "I never thought the colonel was so wicked," said the signorina.
"He never went into the President's into General Whittingham's room, sir; but he came in here for five minutes, to get some brandy, and stood talking with us for a time. Half an hour after he came in for some more." We began to see how it was done. That wretched little doctor was in the plot. Somehow or other he had communicated with the President; probably he knew of the door.
"No," I replied; "you must issue a notice, setting forth that, owing to General Whittingham's malversations, payments must be temporarily suspended. Promise it will be all right later on." "Very good," said he; "and now I shall go and look up those officers. I must keep them in good temper, and the men too. I shall give 'em another ten thousand."
Lord Combermere directed the Adjutant-General to write a letter coinciding with Sir J. Whittingham's opinions, and adding that he would be the advocate of the army both in India and in England. He expects very uncivil treatment, and says the discontent is deep-seated. The same account is received from other quarters. The debate was adjourned last night.
