�You probably saw the Tea-table in B[lackwood's Magazine]. but it does not look so well in print as it sounded when Elizabeth Warde listen�d to it. Ladies praise makes one overrate one�s nothings sadly. However, it was not too bad to keep company with Delta and other periodic rhimers in the same luminous miscellany. One cannot select one�s company in a stage-coach.�
