Fenton in dominoes. They soon discovered Harry, and were highly diverted by the account which he gave them of his metamorphosis into a statue. While the assembly was dividing into pairs and chatty parties, a phenomenon entered that drew all their attention. The Honourable Major Gromley, the lustiest and fattest young man in the kingdom, advanced without a mask, in petticoats, a slobbering bib and apron. He carried a large round of bread and butter in one hand, while Lady Betsy Minit, an elderly... miss of about three feet high, held his leading-strings with her left hand, and in her right bran- dished a birch rod of lengthened authority. His governante pressed him forward, and seemed to threaten chastisement for his delay ; while the jolly, broad, foolish, humorous, half- laughing, half-crying, baby-face of the major, extorted peals of laughter from all who were present.
