Evidence: | 'Have very little to write about to-day, everything was dull & quiet & peacable. The Weekly Papers helped to pass away the time. I was very much amused by a skit in The Australasian by "Hans Beste" called "Lothau", a satire upon "Lothair", Disreali's last work. "Lothau" is a capital burlesque upon Lothair & in a couple of columns of newspaper type takes off all the leading incidents of the novel in a most amusing manner.' |
