Or at Albert Smith’s—the Egyptian Hall!

You shake your head! what! not at all?

Yes, yes! ’twas at the Kirkham’s dance!”

Here Browne come frowningly in, but smiled,

When he found his wife seemed nothing riled,

And begged his guest to be seated:

And looking at Mrs. Browne askance,

Received in return a conjugal glance,

Which showed, “sans doûte,” as they say in France,

She wished Jack civilly treated.
