rank and small means reside in the royal palace at Hampton Court. One
day, on descending the staircase he slipped, and broke his nose. On
looking round for the cause of his accident, he observed a whitish
fluid on the steps; and, calling the porter, he rated him soundly for
allowing this soapy water to remain on the staircase. “It is _barley_
water,” said the porter, “which a waiter from the café spilled as he
carried it along.” “Oh! if that be the case,” replied the chevalier, in
a mild tone, and with his hand up to his mutilated nose, “if that be
the case, it is I who am in the wrong.”
Grimm adds, in summing up his character, that he was richer in pocket
handkerchiefs than any other man. As his apartment was just under the
roof of the palace, and that he, almost every day on going out, forgot
to take a handkerchief with him, he found it less trouble to buy a
new than to ascend to his room and procure an old one. Accordingly, a
mercer in his neighborhood had a fresh handkerchief ready for him every
day.
The history of eccentric knights would make a volume of itself. Here,
therefore, I will conclude, grateful to the readers who may have
honored me by perusing any portion of the miscellaneous pages which
I have devoted to illustrations of chivalry, and, adding a remark of
Johnson, who says, touching the respect paid to those who bear arms,
that “The naval and military professions have the dignity of danger,
and that mankind reverence those who have got over fear, which is so
general a weakness.”

Illustrations, Neatly Bound in Cloth. Price 38 cents.
1. Little Nell. 4. Florence Dombey.
2. Oliver and the Jew Fagin. 5. Smike.
3. Little Paul. 6. The Child Wife.
This is a series of volumes which has been undertaken with a view
to supply the want of a class of books for children, of a vigorous,
manly tone, combined with a plain and concise mode of narration. The
writings of Charles Dickens have been selected as the basis of the
scheme, on account of the well-known excellence of his portrayal of
children, and the interests connected with children--qualities which
have given his volumes their strongest hold on the hearts of parents.
With this view the career of LITTLE NELL and her GRANDFATHER, OLIVER,
LITTLE PAUL, FLORENCE DOMBEY, SMIKE, and the CHILD-WIFE, have been
detached from the large mass of matter with which they were originally
connected, and presented, _in the author’s own language_, to a new
class of readers, to whom the little volume will, we doubt not, be as
attractive as the larger originals have so long proved to the general
public.
