He was very fond of cauliflowers, which were rare vegetables in this island; dining with us one day at the Briars, his aid-de-camp, Captain Gor, had omitted to point out to him that there were some at table ; and it was only when about to be removed that the marquess espied the retreating dish. His rage was most amus- ing ; and, with much gesticulation, he ex- claime...d, " Bete ! pourquoi ne m'a tu pas dit qu'il y avait des choux-fleurs?"
