re now. Emily's imitation of you, with the hat a little on one side, and a handkerchief flourishing away in one hand, is capital; but when she kneels down and says, 'dearest Emily, &c.' you'd swear it was yourself."--[Here the laughter of the auditory prevented Kilkee proceeding, who, to my utter confusion, resumed after a little.]--"Don't be losing your time making up to Lord Callonby's daughter"--[here came another burst of laughter]--"they say here you have not a chance, and moreover she's a downright flirt."--["It is your turn now, Jane," said Kilkee, scarcely able to proceed.] --"Besides that, her father's a pompous old Tory, that won't give a sixpence with her; and the old curmudgeon, your uncle, has as much idea of providing for you, as he has of dying."--[This last sally absolutely convulsed all parties.]--"To be sure Kilkee's a fool, but he is no use to you."--["Begad I thought I was going to escape," said the individual alluded to, "but your friend O'Leary cuts on every side of him."] The letter, after some very grave reflections upon the hopelessness of my pursuit, concluded with a kind pledge to meet me soon, and become my travelling companion. Meanwhile, added he, "I must cross over to London, and look after my new work, which is to come out soon, under the title of 'the Loiterings of Arthur O'Leary.'" This elegant epistle formed the subject of much laughter and conversation amongst us long after it was concluded; and little triumph could be claimed by any party, when nearly all were so roughly handled. So passed the last evening I spent in Munich--the next morning I was married. THE END.
