It would seem judging from this anec-
dote concerning Alfred Tennyson. The

once dining at the house Of his brother
in-law. Professor Lushington, and
among the guests was an inoffensive
stranger who. never having had the
honor Of being in Mr.. Tennyson's COM
pany before. every now and then stole
a glance Of curiosity at the illustrlous
poet. Suddenly. however, those pres
ent were startled by the poet. who had
been rather quiet for some time. look
ing up from the tabecloth and glar-
ing wrathfully round the table. He
fixed the young man with his glitter
ing eye and said loud enough to be
heard by all present, "You are looking
at me. tell you" The collapse Of the
young gentleman was. OF course. COM
plete and instantaneous.
