'I observe, ' said Lamia, 'that another of those somewhat numerous prose performances of yours, that are more or less remotely connected with Gardens, and which you were pleased, without any previous consultation with me, to entitle Lamia's Winter-Quarters, is, like the first of the series, The Garden That I Love, to be issued in an equally luxurious form, and to be illustrated by the attractive talent of Mr. Elgood.

So I suppose you felt precisely as he did when he wrote those adulatory lines which I saw in the public prints, a few days ago, under the heading, "A Poetical Impromptu."' 'Really! He wrote no such, nor indeed any, lines, never having seen nor heard of the lady in question, in his life.' 'Is it possible?' 'Everything of that kind is possible in these days.' 'But did he not contradict it?' 'Did he contradict! Like a good many other men, he would have to keep a Secretary for no other purpose than to contradict what is reported in the papers, and most of which they probably never see.
