28 like to go out a hooting with me for an hour before dinner?

Bravo, Colonel! A charming thought! This will give me an opportunity to ue my elegant gun: the but is inlaid with mother-of-pearl. You cannot find better work, or better tate.—Even my coat of arms is engraved.

Mr. Anhalt begs leave——

Tell him to come in. I hall be ready in a moment.

Who is Mr. Anhalt?

Oh, a very good man. [With warmth.]

“A good man.” In Italy, that means a religious man; in France, it means a cheerful man; in Spain, it means a wie man; and in England, it means a rich man.—Which good man of all thee is Mr. Anhalt?
