Some London beauties of the "seventies" Great ladies The Victorian girl Votaries of the Gaiety Theatre Two witty ladies Two clever girls and mock-Shakespeare The family who talked Johnsonian English Old-fashioned tricks of pronunciation Practical jokes Lord Charles Beresford and the old Club-member The shoe-less legislator Travellers' palms The tree that spouted wine Celyon's spicy breezes Some reflections Decline of public interest in Parliament Parliamentary giants Gladstone, John Bright, and Chamberlain Gladstone's last speech His resignation W.H. Smith The Assistant Whips Sir William Hart-Dyke Weary hours at Westminster A Pseudo-Ingoldsbean Lay.

When Disraeli was asked if this were true, he shook his head, and said, "I hardly think so. Hart-Dyke was married that day. Hart-Dyke is a gentleman; he would never kiss AND 'tell." As a pendant to this, there was another Sir William, a baronet whose name I will suppress. With execrable taste, he was fond of boasting by name of his amatory successes. He was always known as "William Tell."

They made it a sort of personal appeal, and a test of personal friendship to themselves, so grudgingly the contemplated visit to the theatre was abandoned, and we resigned ourselves to six more hours inside the over-familiar building. Sir William Hart-Dyke had been Chief Conservative Whip in the 1868-1873 Parliament.
