Baron Mockabee received two communications from Rucke House that thirteenth day of May. The tenor of the first the reader may guess. The second, no less interesting, arrived towards the close of day, when his lordship was just on the point of retiring to dress for dinner and the Opera. With a sigh the baron sank into an armchair to examine the missive; with a gasp, almost, he read its contents:

This present writing comes to you in consequence of a poem appearing this morning in The Times, which I perceive to have been written by you on the subject of my kinswoman Lady C.W. She being under my protection, it falls to me to act for her when I discover her the topic of a sly, unflattering piece of verse in a public newspaper. Sir Matthew Winterborn does me the honour of acting for me in this matter. If you will be so good as to appoint a time convenient to you, and a place also convenient, I will be pleased to meet you there.

I have the honour to remain

Your obdt. etc,

Seabury.
