Evidence: | 'then I went into town & called in at the Yorick to read the papers. Recently a youthful individual with innumerable buttons & very tight clothes has appeared at the Club as an attendant sprite upon the Members. He is a very lively boy. To-night while I was reading he came into the room, knelt in a chair before the open window but his body half way into the street & commenced whistling in a spirited manner keeping time with his heels against the chair. I was brute enough to growl at him & he desisted leaving the room however with the air of one whose feelings had been outraged' |
