Jack left his friend in the Strand, before the Illustrated Universe building, with its windows placarded with the paper's original sketches and sheets from the current issue, and it was more than an hour later when he turned up at Jimmie's luxurious chambers in the Albany. He was in slightly better spirits, and he exhaled an odor of brandy.
Byron said that the first thing which sounded like fame to him was the tidings that he was read on the banks of the Ohio. It's different nowadays. The first taste usually comes from seeing your name placarded on a dead wall between some equally distinguished rolled oats and a new five-cent cigar. Personally I think I first saw the 'gypsy' face to face when the Hon.
Not long after we left England, "Piccadilly," my sister wrote me, was "placarded with Marcella," the name appearing on the notice-boards of most of the evening papers a thing which never happened to me before or since; and when we arrived in Rome, the content-bills of the London newspapers, displayed in the Piazza di Spagna, announced her no less flamingly.

During the long evenings I took it into my head to devise for my family theatricals on the old Italian pattern commedia dell'arte plays in which the dialogue, itself extemporized, yet follows the outlines of a written plan, placarded behind the scenes.
