We lose sight of the sea, and descend into the little sleepy fishing village of Lulworth. An out-of-the-way place, with an excellent inn (the name of which escapes my memory, but it is the only inn near the bay), where there is good accommodation for man and beast. Here the lobsters belong to precisely the same family as do those caught at Swanage, and no higher praise can be bestowed on any lobsters, those of Cromer, in Norfolk, included, than this. "Show me your lobster, and I'll show you the man to eat it!" This is my sentiment down South-West, or due North. The stout and gouty hero, who might have failed to tackle the boy "fresh from school," now shows himself an adept at tackling a lobster fresh from the sea. But more about Lunch, Lobsters, and the Legend of Durdle Door "in our next." * * * * * GOOD NEWS FOR FIZZIONOMISTS.--To quote _The Merchant of Venice_, "_The World_ says, and I say so too," (_i.e._ _The World_ of last week,) that "the quality of the Champagne (the writer is speaking of Moët and Chandon and Pommery and Greno) will be good." The crop is to be "six times that of last year." Excellent--if only it be six times superior! And oh! if it would only be just one-third less in price!! As the poet (which word rhymes with "Moët") of the Champagne country sings,-- "To keep a _mens sana in corpore sano_, Give me in plenty my Pommery Greno." But, at all events, so far as they are professionally judging from the face of the country about Epernay and Rheims, the Fizzionomists are more than likely to be right. _Ainsi soit-il._ * * * * * "DOLLARS AND SENSE."--According to all accounts, Mr. DALY has shown his "sense" in reviving this piece (for a short run), so we hope he'll pull in "the dollars." * * * * * MRS. R. WANTS TO KNOW.--"Who was the celebrated Scotchman," she asks, "who took 'the Cameroons' to East Africa?" * * * * * SIR AQUARIUS TO THE RESCUE! _Or, The Valiant Knight of the Watering Pot, and the Laidly Dragon of London._ [Illustration]
