William Pitt Scully, Esquire, was, as Mr. Crampton exclaimed, hugelyannoyed at the loss of the place for his nephew. He had still,however, his hopes to look forward to, but these were unluckilydashed by the coming in of the Whigs. As for Sir Pemberton Gorgon,when he came to ask about his peerage, Hawksby told him that theycould not afford to lose him in the Commons, for a Liberal Memberwould infallibly fill his place.

And now that the Tories are out and the Whigs are in, strange to saya Liberal does fill his place. This Liberal is no other than SirGeorge Gorgon himself, who is still longing to be a lord, and hislady is still devout and intriguing. So that the Members for0ldborough have changed sides, and taunt each other with apostasy,and hate each other cordially. Mr. Crampton still chuckles over themanner in which he tricked them both, and talks of those fiveminutes during which he stood on the landing-place, and hatched andexecuted his "Bedford-Row Conspiracy."
