I wrote down on a piece of bark the things that I would give him for her: an order on the Company at Fort o' Sin for shot, blankets, and beads. He said no." The priest paused. Bagot's face was all swimming with sweat, his body was rigid, but the veins of his neck knotted and twisted. "For the love of God, go on!" he said hoarsely.
To LaFontaine the governor offered the attorney-generalship in the most courteous terms, but, for a number of reasons, LaFontaine declined to accept it. Bagot's plan was to form a coalition government, which should embrace all interests; but the Reformers refused to take their place in a Cabinet which contained men of the opposite party.
The sweat dropped from Bagot's forehead, a low growl broke from him, and he made such a motion as a lion might make at its prey. "You wouldn't wouldn't save her you coward!" He ground the words out. The priest raised his palm against the other's violence.
It is certainly established by the Peel correspondence that the British government strongly disapproved of Sir Charles Bagot's policy, and selected Sir Charles Metcalfe as a man who would govern on radically different lines. It is perhaps putting it rather strongly to say that he was intended to overthrow responsible government.
That government had, as we have seen, disapproved of Governor Bagot's action in parting with so large a measure of power, and it was fully prepared to support Metcalfe in pursuing the opposite course. Dr. Ryerson was also right in saying that the government of Great Britain would be supported by parliament.
And one boy wanted his mother badly, and said so. But oh, how ready they were to be cheery! how they enjoyed their day! And, indeed, we did our best for them. Lady Bagot's hospital was full, and we called it her garden-party when we all had tea in the open air there.
It fell to the lot of this critic to attempt to correct Bagot's mistakes. Stanley to Bagot, 8 October, 1841. Ibid. Bagot Correspondence: Stanley to Bagot, 17 May, 1842. The term Bagot Correspondence is used to denote the letters to and from Bagot, other than despatches, in the possession of the Canadian Archives. Stanley to Bagot, 8 October, 1841. Ibid.
One may discern, however, a curious contradiction between the superficial consequences of the crisis, as described by Bagot, and the fundamental changes the beginnings of which he was able to trace in the months which followed. On the face of it, Bagot's policy of frank expediency had saved Stanley and his party from a crushing defeat and a humiliating surrender to extreme views.

It is difficult to name all the influences which operated on Bagot's mind. He corresponded largely and usefully with Draper, the soundest of his conservative advisers. His own innate courtesy led him to end the social ostracism of the French, and taught him their good qualities. Being quick-witted and observant, his political instincts began almost unconsciously to force a new programme upon him.
