he has paid his fare, he wishes he could


have his money back again and disgorge


his ride. He cannot forgive himself for


spending needless sixpence; he repents


of the extravaganza with as much contrition


as man who has committed moral enor-


nifty; he would almost infict penance on


himself and scourge his own shoulders for


his folly. He cannot hear to be cheated Of
farthing. So he says, but he means that


he never parts with arthing but with re-


luctance. He has no. notion of buying
golden opinions. He has some little re-
gard, however, to opinion, and wishes to
have it without buying; If, however, it
must be bought, he will endeav0r to buy il
as cheaply as possible. lie has an eye TO
quantity, not quality. He has adherence
of all public amusements which are not ac-
cessible without payment; and if ever driv-
en- by strong impulse Of curiosity to visit
a theatre, he will spend whole day in hun

he must pay for admittance, he will have as
much as he can for his money, and sit to
the last dregs of drowsy farce, though he

and as sleepy as cat. Whatever he has
bought and paid for, he will use and con
sumo, however much against the grain

he will ride in IT as far as it
will carry him; if he has taken lodgings
in a watering-placo, he will stay ill the last
moment, letthe weather be as bleak as De-
cember; if he has subscribed to a cold
bath, he viii have his quantum of dips at
the risk of his life; if he be member Of a
club, he will read every newspaper; and
if he sees and hates himself in this por-
trait, he will peruse it to the end, because
he has right to do SO.
