At Largs, sir, I have been reverting to the ancestral garb."
A person who is used to making sacrifices Laura, for instance, who had got such a habit of giving up her own pleasure for others can do the business quite easily; but Pen, unaccustomed as he was to any sort of self-denial, suffered woundily when called on to pay his share, and savagely grumbled at being obliged to forgo anything he liked.
The private news from Hamburg is, that his Majesty's Resident there is woundily in love with Madame ; if this be true, God send him, rather than her, a good DELIVERY!
