This saved a great deal of trouble. The other day, however, when I came on parade, I oped up one line and down the other, at the deuce a glimpse could I get of that long nose of his! Then, just as I was at my wits’ end, I caught light of him alone at one aide: so I formed up in front.

We lunched at Stephen's. the fashion able inn in Bond street. where I saw a line of tilburys and saddle horses. which stretched from the door to the forthw- vnd of the street. And thence we went to the Mall in St. James’s Park. and thence to Brookes’s, the great Whiz club, and thence again to “'atier's. where the men of fashion used to gum- ble. Everywhere I met the same sort of men, with their stiff figures and small waists, all showing the utmost deference to my uncle, and for his sake an easy tolerance of me. The talk was always such as I had already heard at the Pa- rilion: talk of politics, talk of the King's health, talk or the Prince’s extravag- gance, or the expected renewal of war. or horse racing, and of the ring. I saw, too. that eccentricity was, as my uncle had told me, the fashion; and it tha: folk upon the Continent look upon in: even to this day as being a nation of lunatics, it is no doubt a tradition hand- ed down from the time when~ the only travelers whom the; were likely to see ample, I came upon some new waist- coating in the Square of San Marco, at Venice.

It was a very different world this from that which we had left in the W'estâ€"a world of energy and of. strength, where there was no place for the listless and the idle. Young as I was, I knew that it was here in the forest of merchant shipping, in the bales which swung up to the warehouse Win- dows, in the loaded wagons which roared over the cobblestones, that the power of Britain lay.

It was in Watier’s that night, seated by my uncle on one of the red velvet'set- tees at the side of the room. that I had pointed out to me some of those Singular characters whose fame and eccentrici- ties are even now not wholly forgotten in the world. The long, many-pill:_lrcd room, with its mirrors and chandeliers, was crowded with fullchlaoded. loud- voiced men-anont-town, all in the some dark evening dress with white silk stock- ings, cambric shirt-fronts, and little, tint chapcau-bras under their arms. “The acid-faced old gentleman with the thin legs is the Marquis of Queens- berry,” said my uncle. "His chaise was driven nineteen miles in an hour in a match against the Count Taate, and he sent a message fifty miles in thirty min- utes by throwing it from hand to hand in a cricket ball.

There’s Lord Petersham. the man with the beaky nose. He always rises at six in the evening, and he has laid down the finest cellar ot stntf in Europe.
