A confraternity of the Ghost and Goblet has already been formed for the purpose of celebrating with an appropriate banquet the approaching Festival of Michaelmas. Additional Members may be enrolled at 6d. per week each.
The following indulgences are promised to those who repair to the Hostelry of the Ghost and Goblet with the usual dispositions:—
Unlimited indulgence in Roast Goose, on the aforesaid Festival of Michaelmas, which will also be the Anniversary of the Foundation, on condition of eating with the goose an optional quantity of mashed turnip, in order to signify the demolition of that Lantern to which profane scepticism would refer supernatural appearances.
Indulgence in brandy, gin, rum, Hollands, and whiskey; in superior ale, porter, and stout; and in genuine foreign wines and liqueurs—to any extent, on condition of ringing the bell, or calling the waiter, and repeating the proper order for the liquor as often as may be requisite.
Indulgence in tea and shrimps.
Indulgence in tobacco for any term of hours; the hostelry remaining open.
Indulgence of the same duration in the amusement afforded by a good dry skittle ground.
Indulgence above stairs in the exercise of dancing; on condition of executing the proper movements to the tune of "Pop goes the Weasel," or whatsoever other measure may be prescribed by popularity.
Indulgence in the delights of harmony in the Shades below: on condition of expressing a desire for refreshment.
To secure the full benefit of these Indulgences it will be only necessary, further, to pay for them; and that this may the more conveniently be done they will be supplied on the most liberal scale of charges.
