Thackeray's General Invitation.


 I first saw Thackeray at the house of my brother-in-law, with whom was then stay ing in GIoueester-place; they had lived to- gether as young men at Weimar but had never seen one another since, and their meet ing was very interesting. Their lines in life had been different, but the recollection of old times drew them together closely. A en- rious and characteristic thing happened on the occasion in question. There were dog en people or so at dinner, all unknown to Thackeray, but he was in good spirits and made himself very agreeable It disappoint- ed me excessively when, immediately after dinner, he informed me that he had a most particular engagement, and was about to wish good night to his hest ''But will you not even smoke 8 cigar first?" I inquired "A cigar! Oh, they smoke here do theyg- Well, to tell you the truth. that was my en-. gagement," and he remained for some hours There was an ancient gentleman at table who had greatly distinguished himself half a century ago at college, by whom the novelist was much attracted. and especially when he told him that there was nothing really origi- nal in modern literature; everything, he said, came indirectly more or less from-I think he said-Pindar. ''But at all events Pindar did not write Vanity Fair,''' I said. ssYes. ! sir," answered the old gentleman confidently The did. In the highest and noblest sense \ Pindar did write it." This view of affairs, which was quite new to him, delighted 1uackoTay, Wno was so pleased With h1S even | ing that he invited the whole company-four- ! teen in alto dine with him the next day
 mention the circumstance not only as being ! a humorous thing in itself, but as illustrative ! of a certain boyish and impulsive strain that \ there was in his nature. He told me after ward that when he subsequently, went to the \ club that night he had felt so dangerously hospitable that it was all he could do to pre- vent himself "asking some more people;'' ! and as matter of fact he did ask two other guests. He had been very moderate as to I wine drinking and was only carried away by { spirit of geniality, which now and then overmastered him. The guests who had so much taken his fancy-or perhaps it was only the ancient classic, whom he could not well have invited without the others-were of course delighted with their invitation, but many of them had scruples about accepting it.. They called the next afternoon in pairs to know Hwhat we were going to do about \ it, and whether we thought Mr. Thacke- ray had really meant it" For my part I said l. should go if I went alone: and go we did. An excellent dinner we got, not withstanding the shortness of the notice: l nor in our kind hostess manner could be | detected the least surprise at what must nevertheless have seemed somewhat un ] looked-for incursion.
