It was there, near a big groyne, that the home-coming hoy ran up to the top of the beach. The poor people aboard of her were often horribly bad from sea-sickness, green or yellow or mud-coloured. If a wave caught them SIR WATERLOO 213 before they could manage to struggle beyond the run of the water, the folk of the polite world, watching their antics, would burst into a roar of laughter and bandy jokes of a type naturally resented by the human flotsam they were aimed at. Many a duel has been fo...ught by reason of some unmannerly scrap of argot hurled, perhaps, at a delicate lady belonging to an English family returning from France, a lady prostrated by mal de mer and drenched to the skin with sea foam, in her efforts to reach ten a fir ma. No wonder the French emigre of the gentler sort regarded our well-dressed snobs as a parcel of barbarians. Mr. Wheatley then proceeded to launch out at large on the great changes in travel of the last few years and predicted astounding developments, destined to eclipse our old notions, in the coming time.
