"And convince 'em, if you can, that the reign of good Queen Anne was culture's palmiest day," challenged Gilbert, and the Vagabond took up the gauntlet. It was first in the grotto at Twickenham that he sought the substance of culture, but a high-pitched voice reciting from a rapt bevy of matrons:

"Sir Plume, of amber snuff-box justly vain,

And the nice conduct of a clouded cane."

discouraged him. Turning to a coffeehouse, he was near to joining a sober looking man drinking a dish of chocolate, but a brawl suddenly broke out, and the sober looking man joined in to rescue a poor drunken wretch whom Sobersides addressed as "Dear Dick." The Vagabond bethought himself of Dean Swift, and would have visited that worthy, but his attire was so disarranged by a jar of slops flung from an upper window that he betook himself instead to Vauxhall, and rested in a quiet corner of the garden, seeing but unseen. This morning he will ascertain the views of Professor Abbott on the culture of Anne's reign.
