My Lord Charlemont and Mr. Grattan were dressed in the uniform of the volun- teers ; my Lord Nugent wore a suit of light blue ; my Lord Trimbleston was clad in scarlet, with full- powdered wig, while the Lord Taaffee tottered in dove-coloured silk to kiss his Excellency's hand. Mr. Daley, the actor, presented himself with stockings rolled over his knees, long flaps to his waistcoat, and very large cuffs, while Mr. Geminiani, the musician, had attired himself in blue velvet, richly embroidered w...ith gold. The appearance of my cousin Donal filled me with amazement. He had been wont to dress, richly indeed, but soberly, in garments of somewhat sombre hue. Now I beheld him in light-green silk and cream-coloured waistcoat, richly embroidered with shamrocks in gold. The Knights of St. Patrick wore 238 THE KING'S DEPUTY. The badges of the order, as did the Viceroy likewise, and all the company carried bunches of shamrock fastened to the left breast. As time went on I thought I saw his Grace's eye wander from the company, as though he listened no longer to their words, and a shade of anxiety would hover for a moment on his brow, for the hour of the banquet was nigh, and my Lord Bishop of Derry was not arrived.
