Edwin. "Very well, then; but that's enough. Come away, Emmy."

Emma. "Oh, stop one minute—look here—did you ever? Isn't it elegant? What is it, pray?"

Shopman. "Why, ma'am, that is a clothes-horse, made from a drawing of Edwin Landseer's. Prince Albert has the companion to it."

Emma. "Oh, do buy it, Edwin; I wont ask you for anything else, indeed."

Edwin. "Very well, then; but mind, it's to be the last."

Emma. "Oh! what is this, pray?"
