I could only conclude that some unpleasantness had arisen between himself and Beasley, probably of political origin, since they were both In polities, and of personal (and consequently bitter) development ; and that Mr. Dowden found the mention of Beasley not only unpleasant to himself but a possible embarrassment to the Indies (who, I supposed, were aware of the quarrel) on his account. After lunch, not having to report at the office Immediately, I took unto myself the solace of a cigar, which kept m company during a stroll about Mrs. Apperthwaltea capacious yard.
