Wrote a little in the morning. Detained in Court till two; then returned home wet enough. Met with Chambers, and complimented him about his making a clever book of the 1745 for Constable's Miscellany. It is really a lively work, and must have a good sale. Before dinner enter Cadell, and we anxiously renewed our plan for buying the copyrights on 19th December.

"It's all right, policeman," he answered, quickly, thrusting some money into the constable's hand.
I heard a fellow talking about taming a man, Rarey-fashion, by holding out a pole to him with a bunch of flowers. Pooh! The best thing is a bit of paper with a court seal at the corner, stuck on the end of a constable's staff." Mr. Fletcher entered presently, the office where he was employed being only a few doors off.
They were traveling over a perfectly straight road, and Duncan Bennet took out his field glasses. "Here," he said to Cora, "I often find these interesting when on a long journey. Take a peek."
