He has rooms here; has had them coming on for thirty years now, and they are filled with a prodigious accumulation of trash stays, I dare say, and powder-puffs, and such effeminate idiocy to which none could dispute his title, even suppose any one wanted to. We had a perfect right to bid him go, and he had a perfect right to reply, 'Yes, I will go, but not without my stays and cravats.
