Sketches From Life and Jottings From Books
Excerpt from Sketches From Life and Jottings From Books
F irstly-then I must get my ticket; secondly, I must look after my luggage. Those desirable objects being attained, it may be worth while to wile away some mi nutes over the advertisements, with which the station is so nicely stored. 4these adver tisements have always afforded me food for the gravest contemplation. I speculate for instance on the properties of Mrs. Lazenby's fish - sauce, warranted to be genuine only if made by her, and I am immediately seized with the desire of knowing if the copper-plate signature which follows be genuine too. I turn from thence to Heal's patent bedsteads.
