Lord Gifford's father was a grocer at Dover; Lord Denman's a physician; judge Talfourd's a country brewer; and Lord Chief Baron Pollock's a celebrated saddler at Charing Cross.
Equally disappointing was the undignified display of our little skill, at Charing Cross Station, where we performed before a large and amused London audience. For my own part, I could scarcely wait until we were safely hidden within the train.
