Dear Jemimarann was in white, her hair braided with pearls.

Madame de Flicflac appeared as Queen Elizabeth; and Lady Blanche Bluenose as a Turkish princess.

An alderman of London and his lady; two magistrates of the county, and the very pink of Croydon; several Polish noblemen; two Italian counts (besides our Count); one hundred and ten young officers, from Addiscombe College, in full uniform, commanded by Major-General Sir Miles Mulligatawney, K.C.B., and his lady; the Misses Pimminy's Finishing Establishment, and fourteen young ladies, all in white: the Reverend Doctor Wapshot, and forty-nine young gentlemen, of the first families, under his charge--were SOME only of the company.

I leave you to fancy that, if my Jemmy did seek for fashion, she had enough of it on this occasion.

They wanted me to have mounted again, but my hunting-day had been sufficient; besides, I ain't big enough for a real knight: so, as Mrs.Coxe insisted on my opening the Tournament--and I knew it was in vain to resist--the Baron and Tagrag had undertaken to arrange so that I might come off with safety, if I came off at all.
