Damer must appear in the most distinguished light." Cerrachi made a full length figure of Mrs. Damer, which he called the Muse of Sculpture, and Darwin, the poet, wrote: "Long with soft touch shall Damers' chisel charm, With grace delight us, and with beauty warm."
As to the two Master Damers, who were respectively of the ages of fifteen and sixteen, it may be sufficient to say that they were conspicuous for red caps and for the constancy with which they raced their donkeys. And now the donkeys, and the donkey boys, and the dragomans were all standing at the steps of Shepheard's Hotel.
Why should she now submit her high tone of feeling to the Damers, or why care longer for their good opinion? Therefore she scattered contempt around her as she ejaculated the last word, "dirt." And then the return home! "I know I shall never get there," said Mrs. Damer, looking piteously up into her husband's face. "Nonsense, my dear; nonsense; you must get there." Mrs.

"Why," said she, "those Damers, I fear, are dangerous people." "Do you mean that they will borrow money of him?"
