One o'clock
The Colonel was the soul of our entertainment : amongst his other virtues , he has the companionable and convivial ones to an immense degree , which I never had an opportunity of discovering so clearly before . He seemed charmed beyond words to see us all so happy : we staid till four o'clock in the morning , yet all complained to-day we came away too soon . I need not tell you we had fiddles , for there is no entertainment in Canada without them : never was such a race of dancers . One o'clock . The dear man is come , and with an equipage which puts the Empress of Russia 's tranieau to shame . America never beheld any thing so brilliant : `` All other carrioles , at sight of this , Hide their diminish 'd heads . '' Your brother 's and Fitzgerald 's will never dare to appear now ; they sink into nothing .
