tho Minister and I played at whist with Mr.. Marcy
and his secretary. and every night We lost. The
s,,kes were triHing but Mr.. Marcy felt hattered
in beating the Britishers at what he called their
own game His good humor returned. and every
morning when the details OF the treaty were being
discussed we had our revenge and scored points
for Canada"
