Here, then, we were engaged (Grifiths
and y, with promise that our salary
should be raised if proved attractive;
and raised it soon was, for we drew enor-
mously. We brought out the perche and
the ceiling business, came down in the
midst of fireworks from platform higher
than the roof of the theatre; and in short,
did everything that was ever yet done in
our line-ay, and did it well, too, though
perhaps it is not my place to say So
At all events, the great colored posters
were pasted up all over the town, and
our salary was increased to fifteen pounds
a week; and the gentleman who writes
about the plays in the Sunday Snub, was
pleased to observe that there was no per.
formance in London half so wonderful as
that of the Patagoniani Brothers; for
which I take this opportunity to thank
him kindly. - ai
We lodged (of course together) in a
quiet street on hill, near Islington.-
The house was kept by Mrs. Morrison,
respectable, industrious woman, whose
husband had been a gas6tter at one of
the theatres, and who was now left a wild
ow with one only daughter just nineteen
years of age. She was very good and
very pretty. She was christened Alice,
but her mother called her Ally, and we
soon fell into the same habit; for. they
were very simple, friendly people, and we
were soon as good friends as if we had
all been living together in the same housS
for years.
Lam not good hand at telling sto-
ry, as, l dare say, you have found out
by this time-and, indeed, never did
sit down to write one out before-so L
may aswell come to the point at once,
and confess that loved her. I also
fancied, before many months were over
that she did not altogether dislike me; for
a mans wits are twice as sharp when he
is in love, and there is rot blush, or q
glance, or word, tha.1he does not con-
trive to build some hope upon. So one
day, when Griffiths was out, I went down
stairs to the parlor, where she was sitting
