"He went in like a lion and come out like a lamb, didn't he, Chimmy?"

The master-at-arms admitted that he did.

"Well, Chimmy," he would reply, solemnly blinking his little eyes, "that there's all there is to it."

In the service journal, which is published in New York, there appeared the following item:—

"A most interesting and novel wedding took place on Thursday, October 31, at Funchal, Madeira, on board the steamer Southampton of the Union Line. Ensign John R. Pennington, U.S.N., married Miss Eleanor Inglefield, daughter of Robert Inglefield, Esq., of Ravenside, long and eminently connected with the British diplomatic service. The bride and groom left immediately for England. In consequence of Mr. Pennington's hurried departure, the wedding was a surprise even to his brother officers of the Denver. The young couple are now at Newport, where Ensign Pennington is stationed; and it is understood that the bride's father will spend the winter with them."

The report was true, for before the Denver left Funchal the Inglefield villa was closed, and the senhora reigned supreme there; and Mr. Inglefield had gone to see his new son-in-law at Newport, and to pay his first visit to the United States.
