Mrs. Ponsonby de Tomkins, (pointing to her books) "They are not many, Lord Adolphus, but they are all friends, dear old friends."

Noble poet (taking down a volume of his own poems, and finding the leaves uncut,) "Ah ! hum ! I am glad to find that you don't cut all your old friends, Mrs. de Tomkins !"

(Mrs. P. de T. is at a loss for once.)

[Punch.
