walked round the room, and admired the pictures. Ile then sat
clown for some time, and after conversing on indifferent sub-

worth a farthing, and on looking round to discover what
plate the Gentleman had borrowed, Mr. Lewis soon missed
from the sideboard a large gravy spoon, four table spoons, and
ten tea spoons, which, previous to the gentleman's coming in,
had been lying on the sideboard. lie was a man of genteel
appearance, dressed in black, and about sixty years of age.
