"NOBLESSE OBLIGE."

Old Friend. "Hullo, Dick! How are you? I wish you'd come and Dine with me to-night. But now you're a Lord, I suppose I mustn't call you Dick any longer, or even ask you to Dinner?"

Noble Earl (who has just come into his Title). "Lord be blowed! Lend me a Fiver, and you may call me what you like—and I'll Dine with you into the bargain!"
