Lovel's servant's hall to the fascination of her favorite author, "Shikspur," is asked, "Who wrote Shikspur?" she replies, with that promptness which shows complete mastery of a subject, "Ben Jonson." In later days, another lady has, with greater prolixity, it is true, but hardly less confidence, and, it must be confessed, equal reason, answered to the same query, "Francis Bacon."
If asked whether he had read Shakespeare, he might possibly have given the same reply as the young woman in High Life Below Stairs: "KITTY: Shikspur? Shikspur? Who wrote it? No, I never read Shikspur. "LADY B.: Then you have an immense pleasure to come." Let it be said, however, that in many respects Tom was an exceedingly well-informed and clever man.
"But suppose, for the sake of argyment as Shikspur says, that the stranger wos to ax ye wot ye know'd about Peroo, what 'ud ye say to that, lad?" asked Old Peter. "Wot would I say! Why, I'd ax him with a look of offended dignity if he took me for a schoolmaster, an' then may be I'd ax him wot he know'd about it himself an' krekt him av he wos wrong."
