Lord Byron complains that Horace Walpole was not properly appreciated, 'first, because he was a gentleman; and secondly, because he was a nobleman. His Lordship stands in one, at least, of the predicaments here mentioned, and yet he has had justice, or somewhat more, done him. He towers above his fellows by all the height of the peerage.
A dozen feet were shuffling on the stones outside, and a ruddy face glowed over the sash. "Go away, Pellams. Got to plug," said Jimmie, hastily resuming his book. "Relate your predicaments to a constable," said Pellams. "There's going to be a Thirsting Bee at the " "Can't go. Got to work on my thesis." "Relate that to your Uncle Adderclaws. Tumble out, now."

"Well," said Faxon philosophically, "I suppose that's one of the reasons why she needs a secretary. And I've always the inn at Northridge," he concluded. The youth laughed again. He was at the age when predicaments are food for gaiety. "Oh, but you haven't, though! It burned down last week." "The deuce it did!" said Faxon; but the humor of the situation struck him also before its inconvenience.
