The letter duly detached from the growing pile was handed to the Mayor, who looked every inch of him--and they were many--the City’s Chief Magistrate, as he put on a pair of eyeglasses to peruse it.

At last, the study was terminated and the frown increased by the return of Niblo, who with a fine air of importance bore a number of pamphlets, some of which were white, some of which were red, some of which were blue. Sir Munt read the white one first: LOVELY MATLOCK, THE INCOMPARABLE METROPOLIS OF THE PEAK DISTRICT OF DERBYSHIRE A select number of subscribers to the UNIVERSAL PRESS will be transmitted daily to this enchanted spot, free of all charge, by AUNT MITTIE NUMBER THREE (Chicago World’s Fair Model).
