at rest, Mr.. Wcrbut became anxious to know
why the propinquity Of Portmun square was
an object sOh' cried Mrs. Scraggs, who by
this time had joined the party, that is easily
answered.. We have contrived 10 get key OF
the square gardens, and it is most unexcep-
tionable promenade for family where there
are daughters to introduce
An adjournment 10 Portman-square gar
dens was forthwith proposed; and as we sailed
forth, my attention was desired 10 be directed
TO a white house on the opposite side of the
street. 'Do you see that house" inquired Mrs
Scraggs, wit, Look Of anxiety 81 dol

'Alr WiIloughby Scraggs, Sir, when you write
to- your friends interrupted his helpmate.-
ooh! beg pardor,' answered I; u was not
aware-"-sWhy the fact is said the husband,
ever since we settled westward, we have de
termined that it is much more genteel TO be
called by my second Christian name. Every bo-
DIV does il hereabouts. Look at The list Of the
Knights when they are presented at Court
They all cast off their Johns, Williams, and
Richards, and come forth as Sir Spencer, Sir
Mortimer, and Sir Owenson, Yes, resumed
the eldest daughter and can assure YOU,
Sir, papa does not mean to stop there. When
he is made Knight, he means TO take the
surname of WiIloughby his'wil make him
Sir John WlIoushby Seraggs Willoughby.
We then mean to drop gradually that horrid
name Scraggs, and then-"-'Ay, and then,
