Sir Algernon. The latter said he was
sorry to be engaged. In another min
ute he appeared with the card of well
known peer who was most DESTROYS to
have word with him. Again the lat

again came In with huge card saying
the lord mayor and sherlffs of London
wanted to speak to Sir Algernon West

Sir Algernon apologized to Sir George
and went out to such great dlgnitaries.
