...seconds to spare. Swiddle is a handsome man, who dresses to perfection, ordering his clothes from Smiler & Compa, Bond St., W., and he never by any chance loses his temper.

His clothes were certainly not made by Poole, and I don't think his hat ever saw London, or, if it did, it has certainly been on this side of the water long enough to make good a claim for naturalization; but though his clothes are far from new, they are very neat, and he evidently bestows quite as much water on the outside of his body (and probably more on the inside) than our friend Augustus...
