Dryden's Mc Flecnoe.
He meant to ride in and call upon her Monday evening; but, as ill luck would have it, old Sloat, who was officer of the day, stepped on a round pebble as he was going down the long flight to the railway-station, and sprained his ankle.
They were to leave this evening, having already dispatched the boat on Monday last. 16th, Tuesday.
