not struck this morning." interposed
Boutelle sarcastically. Tracy's cheek
famed. He inquired holly whether
while making a parliamentary inquiry

Boutelle disclaimed any intention of
insulting his colleague and Tracy took
his seat, still chatting under the affrOnt
put upon him and declaring to his
friends that he would not stand this
sort of treatment any longer 1.-The
next man who says anything of that
kind,' he declared, will get his face
slapped"
