VOCES POPULI

This is a stale old trick, he merely--. But you wait and see how I'll score off him over it!

THE M. IN E. D. . On the contrary, there are several little things there belonging to me, which I'll thank you to give me back by-and-by.

THE M. IN E. D. Invariably--to keep my head cool; so hand them over, please; I want them.

HIS COMPANION . Don't speak so loud. If they know you've come in here fresh, you'll get turned out!

PATRONISING PERSONS . 'Pon my word, no idea they turned out such good work in those times--very creditable to them, really.

BEFORE THE PORTRAITS.

'ARRY. There's old 'Enery the Eighth, you see--that's 'im right enough; him as 'ad all those wives, and cut every one of their 'eds off!

'ARRIET . Ah, I knew we shouldn't want a Catalogue.

THE INT. P. Wonderfully Holbein's caught the character of the man--the--er--curious compound of obstinacy, violence, good-humour, sensuality, and--and so on. No mistaking a Holbein--you can tell him at once by the extraordinary finish of all the accessories. Now look at that girdle--isn't that Holbein all over?

FLIPPANT P. Not quite all over, old fellow. Catalogue says it's painted by Paris Bordone.
