Not illustrated. 1865 edition. Excerpt: ...eyes, --eighteen, --or thereabouts;--Of course, you know, we hope it's marriage! But yet the/mme de chambre doubts. She looked so pensive when we met her; Poor thing! and such a charming shawl!--Well! till we understand it better, It's quite impossible to call. Old Mr. Fund, the London banker, Arrived to-day at Premium Court; I would not, for the world, cast anchor In such a horrid, dangerous port; Such dust and rubbish, hath and plaster (Contractors play the meanest tricks)--The roofs as crazy as its master, And he was born in fifty-six: Stairs creaking, --cracks in every landing, --The colonnade is sure to fall; We sha'n't find post or pillar standing, Unless we make great haste to call.

Alas! disturb not, maid and matron, The swallow in my humble thatch; Your son may find a better patron, Your niece may meet a richer match: I can't afford to give a dinner, --I never was on Almack's list; And since I seldom...
