PELLEGRINI ASLEEP.
A looker-on at Wimbledon Common during a Volunteer Review, 1867.
A Ballet Dancer, Manchester Theatre. ("The Ballet of Hens"), 1871.
PELLEGRINI "APE." "My fellow, what I care! I say to 'im, 'you go to——'
"Oh!" he said, dramatically, "I do not accept apologize—you no longer remain member 'ere!—write to the Committee—most unclubbable that—you wait ... we shall see!"
I tried to pacify him, but he waved me aside. The next morning he wrote me the following letter:—
Studio,
53, Mortimer Street,
Cavendish Square.
Dear Leslie,
Forgive me if I took the joke of last evening too much au sérieux.
Ever yours,
Pellegrini.
