Earl's Court, particularly, is becoming quite a modern Vauxhall Tan-ta-ra-ra! Earl's Court! Earl's Court! and Mr. Imre Kiralfy, with his conceptions and designs, is to our generation what Albert Smith was to the age of Dickens and Edmund Yates.
First he returned no answer, pretending to be drunk and not to understand: But on their promising to spare his life, on the sole condition that he would speak the truth, he confessed that she had been carried away to the mountains, where the band were to cast lots for her. "I must go!" said Imre, starting as if in a trance. "Whither?" inquired his comrades. "To seek her!
The road now led through a narrow pass between two rocks, whose summits almost met, and a slight bridge, formed of one or two rotten planks, was thrown across the dry channel of a mountain stream which cut up the path. As Imre reached the bridge, the horse backed, and no spurring could induce him to cross.
