The Earl Of Cadogan is a superfine young aristo-
crat and a Tory of the old school: he is as rich as
Crdssus, and reactionary in every thing. No one
questions his ability and considerable experience
of public life has made him much less exclusive
and naughty than he used to be.
Some years ago. when he was young and incon-
siderable he spent few days fishing on the
Tweed. He had his boatman and ambassador
to the Court OF King Salmon the famous fisher
man known Robert of TTeus. You must under
