Our Pet Actor (just arrived).—“By Jove—these good people all seem to know me very well—nodding and smiling”— (nods and smiles himself, right and left)—“uncommonly flattering, I'm sure—considering I’ve never set foot in the town before!”
Our Pet Artist (his chum).—“I’m afraid it’s me they’re nodding and smiling at, old man! I come every year, you know— and know every soul in the place !”
