[227]

After a little we began to talk of separating; the lord mayor to take his seat in the House of Commons, and the rest of the party to any other engagement that might be upon their list.

“ Come, let us go to the House of Commons,” said one of my friends, “and make a night of it.” “With all my heart,” replied I, “if I only had another body to go into to-morrow.”

What a convenience in sight-seeing it would be if one could have a relay of bodies as of clothes, and slip from one into the other! But we, not used to the London style of turning night into day, are full weary already. So good-night to you all.

Houghton, Mifflin and Company, The Riverside Press, Cambridge, 1889.
