THE DUMB WAITER.
I can not really understand, (Said Henry to his aunt,) Why a dumb waiter this is called,— Upon my word, I can't; For I have heard you often say It answers very well. Why, then, the waiter is called dumb, I cannot think, or tell.
Between you, boy, this difference know,— For once attention lending,— While without speaking this attends, You speak without attending.
