Young Frank Clavering stole his father's Havannahs, and conveyed them to school, or smoked them in the stables, at a surprisingly early period of life, and at ten years old drank his champagne almost as stoutly as any whiskered cornet of dragoons could do.
On the table were sundry cases of havannahs, a box of allumettes, the last number of the Edinburgh Review, and a copy of the Times." "What is the Times?" inquired Jack. "It is a furlong of paper, folded up and covered with news, advertisements, and letters from the oldest inhabitant of everywhere.
