RANDOM REFLECTIONS.
(From the Note-Book of a Tourist.)
He is a wise man who knows his own luggage, when he travels
with a wife and her twenty-seven packages.
For want of a whistle the cah was lost, and for want of a cab the
train was lost.
£ s. d. are your real letters of credit.
France prides itself on being the most civilised of nations ; yet
you may travel from one end of the country to the other, and never
see a saltspoon.
Looking-glasses certainly are entitled to be classed among the
many foreign things that will not bear reflection.
Except that the briefer the tomfoolery the better, there is not
much to choose between a Lord Mayor's Show and a Carnival.
A collie dog is doubtless useful in its way, but how very much
more useful would be a colis dog to look after one's luggage.
An Englishman will never cease to grumble on the Continent
until he finds soap in his bed-room, and is not charged a franc for a
farthing's-worth of bed-candle.
En revanche, how a foreigner, when travelling in England, must
be driven to despair by our cookery and coffee !
May it be accepted as a proof of the military spirit of the French,
that, at their tables d'hote especially, in every dish of fowl there is
a prevalenee of drumsticks ?
The man who stares about a church, while the poor people are at
prayer, is a cad who would cut the name of Smith upon the Parthenon.
La Manche, with all thy faults, I love thee still.
The only circulars worth reception by a tourist are circular notes.
The Tallest Style.
With talk pro and con. Queen and Empress we 're dinned.
One crown either title's sufficient to cover in :
But Great Britain, Ireland, the Colonies, Ind,
Supply just the four crowns that make up a Sovereign.
THE WILLIAM ON THE BILL.
William again, and to the point, as usual—"Titles Bill"
we may surely call him after reading this from King .John,
Act. iv. sc. 2 :—
" King. Here once again we sit, once again crowned,
And looked upon, I hope, with cheerful eyes.
Pembroke. This ' once again,' but that your highness pleased,
"Was once superfluous : you were crowned before,
And that high royalty was ne'er plucked off;
Fresh expectation troubled not the land
With any longed-for change, or better state.
Salisbury. Therefore, to be possessed with double pomp,
To guard a title that was rich before,
To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
Pembroke. But that your royal pleasure must be done,
This act is as an ancient tale new told,
And, in the last repeating, troublesome.
Salisbury. In this the antique and well-noted face
Of plain old form is much disfigured ;
And like a shifted wind unto a sail,
It makes the course of thoughts to fetch about:
Startles and frights consideration ;
Makes sound opinion sick, and truth suspected
For putting on so new a fashioned robe."
Neatly Turned.
Me. Punch congratulates Mr. Edmund Hay Currie, Chairman of
the House Committee of the London Hospital, on the. knighthood
(couldn't they have made it a night-nurse-hood?) with which Her
Majesty has condescended to invest him—more especially as the
determination to favour Currie is not the result of any undue
attempt on his part to curry favour.
