DEAR MR. PUNCH,--In your number of Oct. 5, "AN INCONSTANT TRAVELLER"
quotes _Mrs. Malaprop_ as saying "Caparisons are odorous." Perhaps it
may interest him to know that the quotation correctly reads thus:--
"_Mrs. Malaprop._ No caparisons, Miss, if you please. Caparisons don't
become a young woman.--_The Rivals_, Act IV., Sc. 2."
"Comparisons are odorous," occurs in _Much Ado about Nothing_, Act III.,
Sc. 5.
Yours,
