"The Rough Road"
William John Locke
I need not tell you an execrable conspiracy has been discovered against the life of his Majesty, in which several known friends of yours are implicated; now, if you will give information on the subject to the Minister, he will not only overlook any share you have taken in it, but will reward you in any way you may wish.
"The Prime Minister"
W.H.G. Kingston
Never did any one earn more deservedly a reputation as an execrable dancer than I did that evening.
"I Walked in Arden"
Jack Crawford
