He thought,
if that was all the Deputation had to urge, that they might have saved
themselves the trouble their protest had cost them.

hereupon turned to the Chairman, and delivering with fearful emphasis

DRURIOLANUS AND DANCING.--The Fancy Dress Ball--not a "Ball
Marsky"--at Covent Garden, last Tuesday week, was a great success,
on which DRURIOLANUS FORTUNATUS is hereby congratulated. There is to
be a similar festivity, to celebrate _Mi-Careme_. Quite appropriate
this date, when the season is half Lent, and the costumes almost all
borrowed.
