But / am fiippant and frivolous, my

( ours, and by Jupiter Tonans there is
a reason for this tremendous ebulli-
ton of spirits, and of that anon,
anon, sir. See postscript-purely
| essional-further on for details.
| Don't stop the flow of ideas now,
| to turn to it; it is hardly worth
while. To our moutons-moutons
| noirs-these two little black sheep
| that have cut away with the key, af-
| ter slipping off in the middle of the
ture. There's piano, too, that was
| to be paid by instruments, seven
| years hire system, and the instru-
| ment warranted not to fall to pieces
| before the last instalment was due.
| That's a clear fraud; for Della
pretty pastoral patronymic Della
has signed a bond as long as [ am,
and as tightly drawn up as Shylock S,
| not to remove the article off the
premises, etc, under pains and pc
nalties, etc, that the Star Chamber
would not have imposed in it's palm
lest days of oppression.
There! if that true and particular
account be not soul-harrowing
enough to form a CHASTITY warning to
you to leave these Washes to them
selves, to let them gang their will
flu gait piano and all, key and all,

you a grave, serious, solemn epistle.
which | hope you will profit by; I
have set down naught in malice,
have extenuated nothing; [ have not
discovered where the vanishing
ladies have got to; and you may
plank your bottom dollar that it will
not be their business to let any hu-
man being find out at present. So
resume the even tenor of your way.
dreamy friend of my youth, and let
the world go hang. And If you were
wise man, which you 'bean't, you'd
slide as gracefully away from the re-
| sponsibilities incurred in spasmodic
fit of emotional Observation-Disclosures
as the Nash girls have slid off with
| the goods which the owners would
have bagged next Lady-day. A grace
| full withdrawal from public gaze for
awhile covers a multitude of embar-
easements and confuses a multitude
of persons who are curious-like as to
what has become of you! Try it.
One trial will prove the fact as the
grocers say in the London Road.
When do you return? I am In no
| hurry to give up the reins, but
shall be glad to say to your Ratchet
face; Welcome home, old boy! BY
Jove, you are looking well?" That's
what | and good Mrs. Matherway are
| waiting for with exemplary patience.
Excuse the brevity of this note. I
would write at length, but train will
! be off very shortly.
Yours always.
