The play-bills have got into the habit of asking questions. We should
not be surprised to see the other play-bills answering them, in this
way.
_Adelphi._ "Did you ever send your wife to Camberwell?"
_Queen's._ "Well, I can't say that ever I did, but I'll make a point of
asking her the first time I see her."
_Haymarket._ "Lend me five shillings?"
_Victoria._ "My dear fellow, I only wish you may get it."
_Covent Garden._ "What will the world say?"
_Surrey._ "Ri tol de riddle lol, riddle lol de lay."
_Lyceum._ "Which Mr. Smith?"
_Norton Folgate._ "Whichever you like, my little dear."
_Douglas Jerrold._ "Time works wonders."
_Paul Bedford._ "I believe you, my b-o-o-o-o-oy."

_Pedagogue (who gives Food for the Mind for Food for the Body)._ "I tell

sent me bad mutton, and while he sends me such a bad leg as he has done
now for three days running, I'm not going to tell you whether
Constantinople is the capital of Otaheite or not."
