"What a life he may have before him! and to throw it away for this!" and as he spoke he took the glass and tossed it across the room. "Oh, doctor! would that it were all to begin again!" "We all wish that, I dare say, Scatcherd." "No, you don't wish it.

We knew the small gentleman well; we had seen a lithographed semblance of him, on many a piece of music, with his mouth wide open as if in the act of singing; a wine-glass in his hand; and a table with two decanters and four pine-apples on it in the background.
The poet had a simple child-like delight in occasionally assuming the host.

Sometimes a generation must suffer that succeeding ones may be blest."
