"that I hope they are very well, and that I am pretty well" â€"to use flattery by asking their vicâ€" tim for a "message to the people." A certain scribe once tried the dodge on Burneâ€"Jones, the famous painter.

A friend of Henry Irving‘sâ€"Wal ter Pollock â€" who used to give a wonderful‘; exact imitation of the famous actor, was paralyzed one night when in the presenc» of convivial friends, Irving said, suddenly.
