tlutter which the occupants Of the
lords chamber were in so little atten-
tion was really paid TO the verbal char
acter of the speech he was deliy ering
that he could make any Interpolation
he liked without IL being detected.
The bet was taken, and the prince
regent agreed to introduce the words
'Baa, baa, black sheep In the middle
of the speech.
III anybody smiles or looks star
tied" he said, II lose my bet"
This exploit actually came off, and at
the close of weighty allusion, COM

Sheridan said, that no notice was
taken. Didn't you hear him distinctly
say, 'Baa, baa, black Sheep"
II did" rejoined Canning, but as
his royal highness looked you full in
the face at the time took it as a per-
sonal allusion. and my delicacy for
