An old fellow who is always recollecting a "capital thing he heard
five-and-twenty years ago."
An old play-goer who will insist "we haven't a single actor left," and
then tells you, "You should have seen Dicky Suett."
"A man who has seen better days," and will recollect the time he had
"thirteen different sorts of wine on his table, and kept his mare and
French cook, but no one cares _that_ for him now"—the _that_ being a
snap of the fingers.
