t; he
has only put in Mr. Pincher's name in the place of Mr. Macabaw's."

"He is ours now," responded his uncle, "and I told you WE WOULD HAVE HIM
FOR NOTHING. I told you, too, that you should be married from Sir George
Gorgon's, and here is proof of it."

It was a letter from Lady Gorgon, in which she said that, "had she known
Mr. Perkins to be a nephew of her friend Mr. Crampton, she never for
a moment would have opposed his marriage with her niece, and she
had written that morning to her dear Lucy, begging that the marriage
breakfast should take place in Baker Street."

"It shall be in Mecklenburgh Square," said John Perkins stoutly; and in
Mecklenburgh Square it was.

William Pitt Scully, Esquire, was, as Mr. Crampton said, hugely annoyed
at the loss of the place for his nephew. He had still, however, his
hopes to look forward to, but these were unluckily dashed by the coming
in of the Whigs. As for Sir George Gorgon, when he came to ask about his
peerage, Hawksby told him that they could not afford to lose him in the
Commons, for a Liberal Member would infallibly fill his place.

And now that the Tories are out and the Whigs are in, strange to say a
Liberal does fill his place. This Liberal is no other than Sir George
Gorgon himself, who is still longing to be a lord, and his lady is still
devout and intriguing. So that the Members for Oldborough have
changed sides, and taunt each other with apostasy, and hate each other
cordially. Mr. Crampton still chuckles over the manner in which he
tricked them both, and talks of those five minutes during which he
stood on the landing-place, and hatched and executed his "Bedford-Row
Conspiracy."
