DAY AFTER LORD MAYOR’S DAY.

_London on the 10th of November._

Thin attendance on ’Change to-day--dull eyes--languid countenance--a

little nervous this morning--fresh demand for soda-water and

ginger-beer--much breakfasting at the coffee-houses about twelve--scrags

of mutton in great request--confounded head-ache--shall be home early

to-morrow, my dear--let me have a little broth--deuce take the lord

mayor; I’ll never go again.[384]--
