An Eastern book forsooth! My Lord Castleroyal has done one an honest one; my Lord Youngent another an amusing one; my Lord Woolsey another a pious one; there is "The Cutlet and the Cabob" a sentimental one; "Timbuctoothen" a humorous one, all ludicrously overrated, in my opinion: not including my own little book, of which a copy or two is still to be had, by the way.
My Lord Castleroyal has done one an honest one; my Lord Youngent another an amusing one; my Lord Woolsey another a pious one; there is the 'Cutlet and the Cabob' a sentimental one; Timbuctoothen a humorous one." Lord Carlisle's honesty, Lord Nugent's fun, Lord Lindsay's piety, failed to float their books.
Carbuncle exact payment of such a debt in any established court; but she inveighed bitterly against the meanness of Mrs. Smith, telling the story openly, and never feeling that she told it against herself. In her set it was generally thought that she had done quite right. She managed better with old Mr. Cabob, who had certainly received many of Mrs. Carbuncle's smiles, and who was very rich. Mr.
Cabob did as he was desired, and sent a cheque, a cheque for £20; and added a message that he hoped Miss Roanoke would buy with it any little thing that she liked. Miss Roanoke, or her aunt for her, liked a thirty-guinea ring, and bought it, having the bill for the balance sent in to Mr. Cabob. Mr. Cabob, who probably knew that he must pay well for his smiles, never said anything about it.
