"Porpoise," she said, touching his hand. He seized a tray, squatted on the
floor, and imitated the tom-tom. Attacked by an
infamous and unconstitutional statute, passed in the reign of the late usurper,
William of Orange, (for I may remark that, if the right king had been upon the
throne, that illegal enactment would never have received the royal assent—the
Stuarts—Heaven preserve 'em!—always siding with the debtors); attacked in
this outrageous manner, I repeat, it has been all but 'up' with US! But the
vigorous resistance offered on that memorable occasion by the patriotic
inhabitants of Bermuda to the aggressions of arbitrary power, secured and
established their privileges on a firmer basis than heretofore; and, while their
pusillanimous allies were crushed and annihilated, they became more prosperous
than ever.
