_She_. Oh, lots of things! _Faust_, amongst the rest. _He_. Come, that must be wrong, for _Faust_ was written by GOUNOD. Wasn't it? _She_. Now! I come to think of it, I suppose it was--or BERLIOZ. _He_. Yes, they did it together. But where does MARLOWE come in? _She_. Well, I am not quite sure. _He_. You had better write to Mr. IRVING about it; he will tell you. He's awfully well up in the subject. As for me, I'm still under the impression that Marlow is somewhere on the river. * * * * * HONOURS DIVIDED. Writers can't speak in public. So says WALTER. They mumble, stumble, hammer, stammer, falter! BESANT, why grumble at fate's distribution? To writers, sense; to speakers, elocution! Some books are bosh, but all experience teaches "Rot's" native realm is--After-dinner Speeches! * * * * * NOTICE.--Rejected Communications or Contributions, whether MS., Printed Matter, Drawings, or Pictures of any description, will in no case be returned, not even when accompanied by a Stamped and Addressed Envelope, Cover, or Wrapper. To this rule there will be no exception.
