think as any one can stand more than hour or
so in that EXhibishun.
So we walks out of the gate, and says to one
OF them cock lat perlice, "Omblibus, Parry

says TO the conductor "Whatever is to become

thing, and pulled that there bell as he'd KEEP
a-rnRin' every mint all the way in my ear, and
'buss.
81 says, "whatever are we to do?" for
u
uniE island, and was afraid for to
walk on, a-thinkin' we might be a-goin ;
wrong; and what with the dust and the
showers as KEEP a-comm' up, we was nice fig
gers; when who should come by in a one'orse
shay but the Wellses, as we said as we wouldn't
ave nothink to do with, through their a-goin off
ike that, as pulled up, and said as they was
a-livin' out Passy way, and said as we'd better
come aud ave some refreshments, as indeed,
we wanted bad enough; and Wells he made his
self very agreeable, and said as he felt sorry
as he'd spoke sharp Iabout bein' disturbed, as
was lis temper; and as to goin' to Passy, they'd
agreed for TO do that afore thro avin' friends
there as was astoppin' out in pension, and
found it more quieter and cooler than Paris.
never was more glad of anythink than the
tea and cold meat as we got at that pension; as
Mrs. Wells says to me, "Why ever don't you
come ERE and stopl"
''Well," says, 81 don't think as Brown would
fancy bein' a peDsioner, as is proud temper,
tho you Wouldn't think it for to look at i'm.
But" says, "'owever are we to get 'ome ?"
But, law, the people of the house was that
obhgin, as they saw us to 'buss as took us
close where we was a.stoppin', as is out beyond
the Shopy Dantin, where the 'busses runs to,
and no doubt should ave got 'ome all right, and
in good time, only Mrs. Archbutt she says to
me, They'll all be gone to the Ipperdrome as
they calls the surk, so let's get out, and dawdle
along Bit"
was that tired as l didn't care about it, but
didn't like for to seem ill-natured; so out we
gets jest agin the Magslin, as they calls the
CuuICu dS lSn'b d DlG llh6 Iue CndpGl over aglQ
the Black friars Road, where parties did used to
go for to 'ear the singin' OF Sunday.
Well, out we gets, and walks along the Bouly-
wards, and Mrs. Archbutt, she says, What are
they a-doin' there 7"
says, ''Oh, nothink."
She says, Its music. Oh, law, the band"
she says, las doats on. Come on, and 'urries
down one OF them wide streets where the SOL
diers was a-walkIn' up to where there's Ugh
column, with Bonyparty on the top. Well,
when them soldiers got there. they stops. and
there wasn't many on 'em, and not much of a
band to speak on; and so tells Mrs. Archbntt.
"Oh!" she says, they'll play directly as is
awfully grand"
We was a-standin' talkin' agin that column,
when they set up all of a sudden a-beatin' them
drums that loud as made me jump out of my
skin.
l says, Mrs. Archbutt, it's my opinion as it's
ariverlution broke out, as very often 'appens and
they're agoin' to fire; So" says, "let's run for
H." and jest then the orns and trumpets blowed
like mad, and takes to my 'eels, and runs like
anythink; but, as bad luck would ave it, fell
over a old gentleman's poodle dog, as would
ave bit me, no doubt only for a little wrework
thing as he wore over 'is mouth as stopped him,
but lis owls was awful; and if the old felle1
didn't call me vile names, and 1T on the ground
with Is cane as came down topper on my foot
as gave me that hagony as give him pretty
good-un over the Sims with my umbreller
Up come the police, as l couldn't make com
prehend nothink; and if that fool Mrs. Archbut
| didn't set up a-squealin as made things tel
| tunes wuss, and we should AVE been locked up
| only party as was comm by, as were English
| explained matters for me; not as said anythint
| about the riverlution, but only as the drums an
| rumpets 'ad give me a sudden fright, and 81
they Ad, and when / did get 'ome 1 was more
dead than alive; and we was 'ome fust after all
| I'm sure the 'eadache as l got was that wio
lent, thro' the shock of them sojers, as neve
will believe didn't mean mischief, only they're
afraid for to do it, for that Emperor he do keel
'em in proper order; and quite right too fo
Pm sure it quite made my blood boil for to Sc
one of them picters of that there lovely Queen
standin' behind a table a.bein' insulted tina
gross by parcel of fsh-fags as is ajowlin a
her. / only wish as I'd been Queen, I'd prett
soon ave lad the sojers out and at 'em; and s.
she would, only her good gentleman as wer
King were that easy, as he stood and let Zen
cut lis lead off without a murmur. AS is WEIR
well II II was only is own head, but man wit
q wife and family did ought for to stand up 70
'em, as told Mr.. Dobson, as were in the fame
stationery line just down the Bow road, as lie
ev'rythink go to ruin and i'm a-talkin' polite
at the 'Globen every evenin, and her upstairs
and the shopman a-fneerin' the TILL let alon
making away with the goods, as soon come to
end, and no one to thank but ITSELF; and that
where it is as this 'ere Bonyparty las the pull
thro' a-makin' the streets that wide as he coul
FIRE from one end of the place to the other, a
always makes me feel nervous a-crossin', lie
alone them buses as comes thunderin' alon
with them cart,'orses a~gallopin', and maxim
row as Is enough for to terrifY any one as ain
used to 1t. But as to Mrs. Archbutt, she's
downright idiot as will stick right in the middl
of the road and scream and was as near don
for as ever see any one atween a buss and
cart of stones, and 'oWever she come out alive
can't make out, tho dreadful dedaubed: an
they did want Ter TO go to the 'ospital but
says, "Never !" for well knows their ways a
don't stick at no him, but will cut you ope
alive lest TO see what's the matter with YOU O
