Coy, courteous, flattering Money,
I love thee, I love thee, I love thee!
"BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!"
(An Open Letter to Somebody.)
DEAR NOBLE CORRESPONDENT TO THE TIMES,—We see that you are doing your best to defend the proposed destruction of the Lincoln's Inn Gateway in Chancery Lane. In the course of your exertions, you have been not too civil to several worthy persons, and inaccurate in your description of the Society of Antiquaries. Now, do take our advice. We know you were a clever "Silk" when you practised at the Bar, and we have heard that your forefathers (for a generation or so) were excellent hands at Banking; but, in the name of Lombard Street, do let Archæology alone!
With the best of wishes,
Yours sincerely,
(Signed) EVERYBODY.
