"You saw that cold-blooded case of Breach of Promise of Marriage in the papers, an old wretch, too, of sixty-four. No age makes them a bit better.

"I'll dine with you to-day; but to-morrow I am off to Fulham, to be introduced to my aunt. Can't you fancy her? grey gros-de-Naples gown: gold chain with an eyeglass; rather fat; two pugs, and a parrot! 'Start not, this is fancy's sketch! I have not yet seen the respectable relative with my physical optics. What shall we have for dinner? Let me choose, you were always a bad caterer."
