TO court in English with the aid of diction-
AIRY: Having obtained an interview with an
English lady. who having recently lost her
husband. must be open TO new offers, he opened
his business thus: "Highborn madam, since
your husband have kicked de bucket"
Sir" interrupted the lady, astonshed and
dispeased. "Oh, pardon!-nine, ten thous-
sand pardon! Now make new beginning
quite oder beginning. Madame, since your
husband have cut stick" 1t may be sup
posed that this did not mend matters; and
reading Ms much in the lady's eountenance.
the German drew out ali octave dictionary and
said, perspiring with shame at havinga second
