SOCIETY'S NEW PET.
Delacruche (the rising young Tragedian at the Parthenon). "Oh, the Fickleness of Woman! Look at that Idiot they're all swarming over now! Ugh! I should like to Kick him, if ever I get an opportunity!"
Brown, F. R. S., &c., &c. (who is fond of Tragedies, but dislikes Popular Tragedians). "Oh, Do, my dear Fellow, Do! And, I say, let Me be there to see the Result."
Delacruche. "Humph! Who is the Beast?"
Brown. "Slogg, the Pugilist from California, Champion of the World!"
[Delacruche thinks better of it!]
