TABLE TALK.

MUM VIZ NLITUDIFOIPTWLY 31A0AZIWZ.

Shakspeare talks of evil deeds, which "return to
plague the inventor." It k the same with stories. Lord
Robert Ranter, on the day se'nnight which succeeded
his earrattve, actually had his own story told to him at
table by a dull man from Datadee, who would not he
• stopped, do whit his Lordship would. 46 Did tour
Lordship ever hear a remarkably good story about
. avid:4o.w" Yes, Sir, I have beard them all."-44 It
happerred at Peter Moores: jots must know poor
Tom Sheridan was far from well, and—"......" I'd thank
you for some bread;"—" So, S.r,, the servant .in going
too near the—" A glass of water, if you please ;"
dire-pl .ce, knocked do mii—" —" Lady Somers,
shall I have ithe pleasure of—"—" The plate-warm r"
Here Lord Robert called out the whole posse cumu-
lates, and the narrative danced on to the following mis-
cellaneous tune. " Upon whir]) Peter Moore said—"
No potatoes-"—" Feeling for Tom Sheridan—"
—" Sherry for me, but take which you like—" —"I
suppose you have broken all the—" —" Champaigne
by all means."—" No gravy, but I'll trouble Captain
Watts—" —" No,.Sir," said the servant, —.4 But"
s, Page. Madre'—.' More brocoli and no butter." To

such casualties will t'.e most undaunted narrator be
subject, who tel!s his stories when people are hungry.
After all, the. pleasantest people at tsb!e are those
who never tell stories at all. The merest trifle that
springs from the occasion is worth a hundred of the
best jokes or narratives that ever were transplanted. It
is the same upon the stage. The moment when Mr.
A. says to Mr. B. 44 Pray be seated ;" and sprawling out
his legs, commences with el It is now fifteen years since
I first became acquainted with your father, then on
foreign service. At the commencement of our friend-
ship an incident occurred—" From that epoch I date
a buzz of inattention fronfpit, bor, and galleries. Not
that I mean to banish story-telling from all places.
There are several dull streets where they may be re•
sorted to with propriety. Old Burlington-street and
Stratford•place are very good story-telling streets,
especially when the Opera house is not open. When
that seat of song is accessible, people are plaguily apt
to ring for their carriages, and leave you in the middle
of your catastrophe. A friend of mine, in fact, ont
of the Opera season, was cut short in the midst of a
lamentable fire of his, that happened at Birmingham,
by seven men jumping up from table to go and hear
u Cherry ripe at the Little Theatre in the Haymarket.
Ever since he has loDked at the play-bill beforehand.
The dinner-hour in L'ndon is now so late, and there are
so many music lions and lionesses prowling about up
stairs in the two drawing-rooms, seeking what of Mo-
zart or Rossini they may devour, that it requires the
agility of Mazuti.r himself to whip in 'an anecdote
