I have such a charming friend for you, the handsomest, most fashionable, witty person, quite captivating, and his grandfather was one of my dearest friends. What is his name? what is his name?

'Well, this has been a remarkable morning, said Ferdinand Armine, as Lord Catchimwhocan set him down at his club. 'I am very much obliged to you, dear Catch! 'Not a word, my dear fellow. You have helped me before this, and glad am I to be the means of assisting the best fellow in the world, and that we all think you. Au revoir! We dine at eight. Miss Grandison Makes a Remarkable Discovery.
'You are not afraid of being bored, said Ferdinand, smiling. 'Between ourselves, I do not understand what this being bored is, said the Count. 'He who is bored appears to me a bore. To be bored supposes the inability of being amused; you must be a dull fellow. Wherever I may be, I thank heaven that I am always diverted. 'But you have such nerves, Mirabel, said Lord Catchimwhocan. 'By Jove!

'I think this is the most infernal country there ever was, said Lord Catchimwhocan. 'My dear Catch! said the Count Mirabel, 'you think so, do you?

He was habited entirely in black, and his only ornament were his studs, which were turquoise and of great size: but there never were such boots, so brilliant and so small!

Sharpe with considerate delicacy endeavoured to check his lordship. 'Well, never mind, I will say nothing about that, continued Lord Catchimwhocan. 'The long and the short of it is this, that my friend Armine is hard up, and we must carry on the war till we get into winter quarters.
Come, Captin, I dare say now you could get us the business of the Junior Sarvice Club; and then you shall have the seven hundred on your acceptance for three months, at two shillings in the pound; come! In Which Captain Armine Unexpectedly Resumes His Acquaintance with Lord Catchimwhocan, Who Introduces Him to Mr. Bond Sharpe. FERDINAND quitted his kind friend Mr.
'Yes; Sharpe must be worth his quarter of a million. And he has made it in such a deuced short time! 'Why, he is not much older than we are! 'Ten years ago that man was a prizefighter, said Lord Catchimwhocan. 'A prizefighter! exclaimed Ferdinand. 'Yes; and licked everybody. But he was too great a genius for the ring, and took to the turf. 'Ah! 'Then he set up a hell. 'Hum!
'Who is the party? 'Why, I fear an unmanageable one, even by you. It is a house at Malta. 'Mr. Bolus, I suppose? 'Exactly. 'I thought so. 'Well, what can be done? said Lord Catchimwhocan. 'Oh! there is no difficulty, said Mr. Sharpe quietly. 'Captain Armine can have any money he likes. 'I shall be happy, said Captain Armine, 'to pay any consideration you think fit.
