"Lady Byron is confoundedly in my way )"
She reused him from his brown study by say
ing, "Indeed, my Lord? can easily get
out of it'.'
Byron would have it that she never fol-
gave this escapade.
Lord Dudly had a curious habit of talking
to himself
In these conversations he would univer-
sally mix up the person in whose company
he was for instance in riding with friend
one day in his carriage, he said, in soto
roce. "Dear me, how perplexing, dare say
Lord 4 who lisa very dull companion,
will expect me to ask him to dinner but |
wont"
The nobleman thus stigmatized as very
dull fellow, however, was full of fun, and be-
ing aware of Lord Dudley's habit resolved
to serve him out with little of his own
sauce; he therefore said, as though to him
self, ri dare sly that Lord Dudley will ask
me to dine with him, but won't, he is very
prosy; his soup is always smoked, and his
wine is execrable."
This reused Lord Dudley, he looked his
companion full in the face, and burst into a
loud laugh. Strange to add that both broke
their firm resolutions, for they dined togeth'
er that day.
OF q somewhat different description is the
involuntary expression of words that have
taken hold of the imagination.
A celebrated preacher told us that friend
of his had been staying with family whose
little boy was very fond of saying, "Does
your mother know you.are out?" The lit
tie fellow always laughed so irnmoderately at
this expression that the gentleman, who was
a clergyman, got in the habit of saying ii
whenever he saw his young friend.
Rising in the pulpit to give out the text,
be saw the lad in pew right before him.
The force of his habit was too strong, and he
convulsed his congregation by saying, "Does
your mother know you are out, Billy"
