“P.S.—Some one sent us a paper entitled ‘The Alamode Beef Shop.’ I think he ought to have a note stating that he has been anticipated, and that we do not allude to politics. I would keep that ‘Traveller’s Story’ * back. We can find some other trick to finish it with. You may use the ‘Hot Water’ in the ‘Chat’ if you like. I think also we had better omit those T-total cuts; they would come in well with the Confessions of a T-totaler?”
* “Travellers’ Stories, or Travellers’ Tales, would make a
good heading—a good Peg.” Where Cruikshank put up a peg
he was inclined to claim any hat that was hung upon it.
