"Well, well, TOBY," said Mr. G., blushing in fashion never learned by youth of to-day, "that's due to your too friendly way of looking at things. What I was about to say is, that ever since I entered public life I have always known a CAVENDISH to the fore. Ministries may rise and fall; the CAVENDISHES remain. Curious thing is they have not--at least in recent times--personally a passion for politics, as PITT had, or such as, in some degree, influences me. They would, if they had their own way, be out of it. [Illustration: THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE'S HOLIDAY DREAM.] But the CAVENDISHES have had their place in English public life throughout the Century, and, it being their duty to fill it, they fill it. Young VICTOR'S speech on Friday night carried me back over space of thirty-four years. I remember another CAVENDISH coming out. He moved resolution which defeated DERBY'S Government in 1859. I remember the difficulty we had in bringing him up to the scratch. It was BRIGHT who finally succeeded. BRIGHT always had great opinion of HARTINGTON'S ability, a view, as we have seen, amply justified. A great deal has happened since 1859, and now here's another CAVENDISH moving another Amendment, and, oddly enough"--here Mr. G.'s face wrinkled into smile of delighted humour--"it's ME who would be turned out of office if the Amendment were carried." [Illustration: Victor, or Vig-Tory-ish, Cavendish. In the Spring Unionist Time of his Youth.] Being thus in melting mood, Mr. G. suddenly turned upon inoffensive JESSE COLLINGS, who had been saying a few words, and almost literally rent him into, fragments. Scarcely anything left of him but benevolent though feeble smile. _Business Done._--Very little in Committee on Home-Rule Bill. _Tuesday Night._--AMBROSE, Q.C., roused at last. House known him for eight years; only to-night learned that it has been cherishing upon its bosom a sleeping volcano. Following fortunes of Conservative leaders, AMBROSE has crossed and re-crossed floor, always taking up seat about centre of Bench immediately behind PRINCE ARTHUR; has occasionally risen thence and offered a few observations. Characteristic of him that he was born in a Cathedral town; is a Bencher of the Middle Temple. Persuasion tips his tongue whene'er he'll talk, And he has Chambers near the King's Bench Walk. These things we knew; but not till to-night came discovery how persuasive AMBROSE can be.
