sir. l would never have anys.wines in

"How, Il e GeSt?''' l-.-e,,-.--r-
Yes. sir-Gt lie price I paid for them.
But to explain the thing at once, sir
You must know that l had mt been long
in'the business when discovered that
gentlemen know very little about wine
that if they didn't find some fault or 9TH
er they would appear to know much less
always excepting the young gentlemen,
from Cambridge, SIR, and they are erceI,

tle concluding words of his. sentence.
Well, sir. with respect to my dinners

itmight happen 10 be Mederia, or pale
sherry or brown"
why just now. you told me you had
but two 'sotss of wine in your cellar !''

two glasses of wine, which replace by
two glasses OF brandy. and add. thereto 8

to give general satisfaction, especially tC

toners. who used to be very particular
about their wines, used 10 serve it a.
such
.But. Mr.. Burnley, wasn't such a pro

H''l guess what you would say. sir; blu
