Mystified.—Somebody at Mrs. R.'s was saying that a certain friend of theirs, a well-known Queen's Counsel, was a first-rate pianist. "By the way," inquired a young barrister, "doesn't he usually practice in Mr. Justice Romer's court?" Mrs. R. held up her hands in amazement. "Well," she exclaimed; "I had no idea that music was allowed in a law court. But I suppose it's in the interval, while the Judge is at luncheon."
An Expostulation.
(On the recent revision of "The Tempter.")
Mr. Tree, what have you done?
Hang it all! there's no exempting
You from blame for risks we run
With The Tempter yet more tempting.
