"The tailor to his Serene Highness the Prince of Darmsradt had that honour, my lord," replied I. "Humph! I thought they fitted better in Germany; it's not quite the thing we must consult Stulz, for with that figure and face, the coat ought to be quite correct. Adieu, my dear fellow, till seven." His lordship shook hands with me, and I was left alone.
"With your permission, as I came to town in these clothes, made by a German tailor Darmstadt's tailor, by-the-by but still if tailor to a prince, not the prince of tailors I would wish you to take me to your own: your dress appears very correct." "You show your judgment, Newland, it is correct; Stulz will be delighted to have your name on his books, and to do justice to that figure. Allons donc."
I am often asked to do the same for others, and I pretend so to do; but a wink from me is sufficient, and Stulz dares not dress them. Don't you want some bijouterie? or have you any at home?"

"Are there others in that condition?" enquired the stranger; "what an unprincipled scoundrel!" "Who, sir? How dare you apply such language to a gentleman?" "I did not, sir, apply it to a gentleman; I applied it to Mr Chatterton." "To me, sir! It was to me! I'm Mr Chatterton, sir; and now, out with your writ whose suit? What's the amount?
