" If looks are any index to these qualifications," replied
I, " his lordship seems all you say." " Yes, and though
he does not despise any man's information—reserving to
himself the option of making use of it, together with the
other round-handled tools he finds at times essential to

enable him to get at what is doing,' Lord George iias
never been known to suffer any familiarity at the hands of
any of the low squad. He would stand himself in his own
apartment for hada day, sooner than permit a fellow like
Hill to be seated in his presence, which is more than
some of the ' order' can boast." "We some of us
think he only races till an opportunity occurs of flying at
higher game," continued O'Fay, " and that he will retire
as hastily as he suddenly burst on the turf." A prophecy
fulfilled to the letter, his lordship having disposed of his
stud at a word ! " The lot, " Payne," said he, at Good-
wood, " from old Bay Middleton to Johnny Howlett
(his four-stone Jock,) for ten thousand ? Yes, or no ?"
" I will give £3OO till breakfast-time to-morrow to con-
sider the matter, Bentinck," replied Mr. George Payne—
a fine, manly, elegant fellow, of the patrician corner of
the ring. " Give me till then, and I will say yes or no."
