to any inkinvenients to do so.

"Chawls," says he, handing me over a tenpun-note, "here's your wagis,
and thank you for getting me out of the scrape with the bailiffs: when
you are married, you shall be my valet out of liv'ry, and I'll treble
your salary."

His vallit! praps his butler! Yes, thought I, here's a chance--a vallit
to ten thousand a year. Nothing to do but to shave him, and read his
notes, and let my whiskers grow; to dress in spick and span black, and a
clean shut per day; muffings every night in the housekeeper's room; the
pick of the gals in the servants' hall; a chap to clean my boots for me,
and my master's opera bone reglar once a week. I knew what a vallit was
as well as any genlmn in service; and this I can tell you, he's genrally
a hapier, idler, handsomer, mor genlmnly man than his master. He
has more money to spend, for genlmn WILL leave their silver in their

may be, the day before his hanging); and at length Aroarer dawned on
the suspicious morning which was to unite in the bonds of Hyming the
Honrable Algernon Percy Deuceace, Exquire, and Miss Matilda Griffin. My
master's wardrobe wasn't so rich as it had been; for he'd left the
whole of his nicknax and trumpry of dressing-cases and rob dy shams, his
bewtifle museum of varnished boots, his curous colleckshn of Stulz and
Staub coats, when he had been ableaged to quit so suddnly our pore dear
lodginx at the Hotel Mirabew; and being incog at a friend's house,
ad contentid himself with ordring a coople of shoots of cloves from a
common tailor, with a suffishnt quantaty of linning.

Well, he put on the best of his coats--a blue; and I thought it my duty
to ask him whether he'd want his frock again: he was good natured and
said, "Take it and be hanged to you." Half-past eleven o'clock came,
and I was sent to look out at the door, if there were any suspicious
charicters (a precious good nose I have to find a bailiff out, I can
tell you, and an i which will al
