TO OSCAR ON HIS "TOUR."
Oscar—We, of Tite Street and Beaufort Gardens, joy in your triumphs The World, Feb. 15, 1882. and delight in your success; but we are of opinion that, with the exception of your epigrams, you talk like "S—— C—— in the provinces"; and that, with the exception of your knee-breeches, you dress like 'Arry Quilter.
Chelsea.
