"Oh, yes; why, I've heard of you before, I think, old chap! Ain't you Bamboo Jack, eh?"
'That may be, but it's negative of yourself, and not a portrait of the object. Hasn't she the brain of Socrates or better, say Minerva, on the bust of Venus, and the remainder of her finished off to an exact resemblance of her patronymic Goddess of the bow and quiver? 'She has a wise head and is beautiful. 'And chaste. Arthur reddened: he was prepared to maintain it, could not speak it.
Let us add that Providence, who does nothing by halves, had signed the original, of which we have just offered a copy to our readers, by the characteristic name of Jean Buvat.
