"He has never asked to see them," answered Lady Mickleham. The reply seemed satisfactory; of course, Archie had only to ask. I took a clean quill and prepared to write. "You promise to be sincere, you know," Dolly reminded me. I laid down my pen. "Impossible!" said I firmly. "O, but why, Mr. Carter?" "There would be an end of our friendship."
"I saw you first in February. Let every body on the Hill hear me if they can. Let my accents swell to Mickleham on one side, and Dorking on the other. I saw you first in February." And then whispering "Our companions are excessively stupid. What shall we do to rouse them? Any nonsense will serve. They shall talk. Some laughed, and answered good-humouredly.

"By the way, Mr. Carter, I don't know if I've ever spoken unkindly of Lady Mickleham. I hope not."
Mickleham, Nov. 23, 1849. Sir, An answer to the following "Query" would be most interesting to myself, and, perhaps, not altogether without its value to the literary world.
