MONSIGNOR. . . — Many roads lead to Rome, but how to return? The way is too crooked, even for POLLAKY.
LAPIN.—Quel guignon! mille remerciements pour l’intention. Soyez bénie, et croyez que je suis et serai toujours le même.
NO. 3.—Je crus qu’elle fut loin, quand elle était tout proche sous mes yeux. Shall have this on my tombstone—Where is the clock?
LAPIN.—Ma seule joie! encore, par charité, racontez tout. Pas nommée, bien triste, mais plus que jamais ce que vous savez.
LAPIN.—Quel supplice, savoir quelles influences vous entourent, recevoir pareilles lettres, pas pouvoir répondre! Si froides! très-inquiet; ayez pitié! Je vous l’ai prédit.
THESTORM at APPENWEIR.—Go. Go. Go. She whom you met at Heidelberg has seen Her. You may trust her. Go.
LAPIN.—Fais vrais efforts pour être patient, confiant; vous ne m’aidez guères. Ennuyée jadis me racontiez tout, aujourd’hui, amusée, vien! Faut absolûment que vous écrive une fois, trop injuste me priver seule défense ce qui facile autrefois pas impossible aujourd’hui. Lettre reçue, rien dedans.
LAPIN.—Lettre Lundi gentille. Demande pas choses compromettantes, seulement noms personnes voyez, genre vie menez. Comme l’an dernier: ouvertement, jamais prohibé. Réticence rend jaloux.

B.E.N. (my second).—What is your opinion of Christopher Columbus’s egg trick?—E. W.
E.E.N. (My third).—I know that Christopher Columbus’s egg trick was only symbolical, andnot real. E. G. G. is, or ought to be, at Southampton.—E. W.

B.E.N.—You know what happened to my money and papers in the heart of the city of London. It is utterly impossible to mistake the power that I have to contend with; even here, with success unexpected, unexampled, and unprecedented, i.e., for Vulcan’s head clerk; for me, “Le jeu ne vaut pas la chandelle!”—CYGNE.
B.E.N. (Cygne).—Does any one want your place? Not one but two aspiring, and, of course, fiery young Vulcan want mine; thus, roasted on both sides, I am sure to be “done brown.” What a fool I was to kill the goose that laid the golden egg! I made sure that it would make my fortune; I have had nothing but misfortune ever since. Like the Romans, my solace is, “Civis Londinum sum.”—Pope’s Head-alley.—MARECHAL.
B.E.N. (Cygne).—Hardly the first, as my “silver cord” is already stretched too far. No more “Londinum” for me? Are not the rivers of the East better than the waters of the “Serpentine”? Crocodiles’ eggs only hatch in “Roman” earth. With not a “drop” to drink.—“La VEUVE.”
B.E.N. (Old Tom).—Méfiez-vous des veuves. Oh! what a fool I was to kill the goose that laid the golden egg! And such an egg! Le gamin de Londres. Tom’s Coffee-house.—E. W.
B.E.N.—(Le 10 Décembre).—Quand je contemple les étalages des gros marchands d’œufs, il me vient toujours l’idée qu’il neige de gros flocons d’or sur La Manche, et qu’un petit bateau français déploie toutes ses voiles pour les attraper.—E. W.

SOMERSETHOUSE, Dead-house, Strand, nine weeks since.—Cheshire Cheese.
E.G.G. (en voyage).—Where are you? Turn up and show yourself. K. E. Y. is in Grenoble, waiting for you, and has nothing better to do than to read Fielding’s “Tom Jones” and re-translate Disraeli’s two French Cooks in Tancred (Rosenfarbig).—E. W.

SATINPIPER.—Alla svänska näktergaller vänta langtande pa din framkomst i vartiden.
E.G.G. (en famille).—The Jew is strong, the Greek is stronger, the Gipsey is still stronger, but the Counterfeit is the strongest of all, having beaten the Gipsey. (Horsemonger-lane, 1848.)—E. W.
E.G.G. (en famille).—Pitch Decimals into the river “Isère,” and let them float down to the Mediterranean, and find their way by Egypt to Arabia, whence they came. (Pocket-book, 1853.)—E. J. W.
NOBODY, NO BODY.—Again drifted on the uncertain sands of time in silent doubt. Yours received.—P.M., Saturday, 5 o’clock, Feb. 13th.
E.G.G. (en congé).—Like Caractacus, when prisoner at Rome, I cannot forget that the “Honorables,” whose abilities, measured by their salaries, must be colossal, envied me my humble cottage in Great Britain. Not the ides of March, but the river March remember.—E. J. W.
LITTLEONE.—Hoop came. Heartsick. Cold letter. No hope. Weary of life. Old man.
E.G.G. (on y est).—La Providence n’est pas toujours avec les forts bataillons. Leave K. E. Y. in Grenoble, but transfer your valuable services from the“Isère” to the “March.” Read the “Hamburger Nachrichten.”—E. J. W.
