Alice, thou knowest who this Louis Kerneguy is nay, hesitate not to me I know every thing I am well aware of the whole matter. Thou knowest this honoured house holds the Fortunes of England." Alice was about to answer. "Nay, speak not, but listen to me, Alice How does he bear himself towards you?" Alice coloured with the deepest crimson.
So to the Office, where we sat all the morning; and at noon home to dinner, and then abroad again, with my wife, to the Duke of York's playhouse, and saw "The Unfortunate Lovers;" a mean play, I think, but some parts very good, and excellently acted. We sat under the boxes, and saw the fine ladies; among others, my Lady Kerneguy, a who is most devilishly painted.
"I crave pardon," said the honourable Master Kerneguy; "but, sir," to Master Wildrake, "ye hae e'en garr'd me hurt the young lady's shank." "I crave your pardon, sir, and much more that of the fair lady, as is reasonable; though, rat me, sir, if it was I set your chair a-trundling in that way.
But let him go; he can but die as his fathers have died; and in the cause for which they lived. But he comes Hush! Albert, hast thou succeeded? hast thou taken royalty upon thee so as to pass current?" "I have, sir," replied Albert; "the women will swear that Louis Kerneguy was in the house this very last minute."
At this moment Alice, summoned no doubt by her attendant, entered the hall hastily. "Master Kerneguy," she said, "my father requests to see you in Victor Lee's apartment."

He had the same hereditary title to good looks as to mental qualifications; and the picture, with such an addition, would be perfect in its way and God send it might be a resemblance." "I understand you, Master Kerneguy," said Alice; "but I am no fairy, to bestow, as those do in the nursery tales, gifts which Providence has denied.
The person to whom this ceremony was addressed endured it for a minute or two with profound gravity, and then bursting out a-laughing, exclaimed to Albert, "What a devil means all this formality? thou complimentest with these miserable rags as if they were silks and sables, and with poor Louis Kerneguy as if he were the King of Great Britain!"
"Well, let us to this gear," said the knight; "think'st thou know'st enough of his manner, clad as thou art in his dress, to induce the women to believe thee to be the page Kerneguy?" "Umph," replied Albert, "it is not easy to bear out a personification of the King, when women are in the case. But there is only a very little light below, and I can try."
"O," replied Kerneguy, "I am one of those lovers who cannot endure absence I must be eternally at the feet of my fair enemy such, I think, is the title with which romances teach us to grace the fair and cruel to whom we devote our hearts and lives. Speak for me, good lute," he added, taking up the instrument, "and show whether I know not my duty."
