You may extend feelings of Christian charity to the reviewer who has "slashed" your new novel, the lawyer whose vindictive eloquence has exposed, the artist in "Punch" who has immortalized, you; but there is one man you never forgive, of whom you will never believe one good thing, and to whom you would wish a thousand evil ones,-he is your natural enemy, brought into the world to be your bane, born that he may be your tormentor; and this is the man who always beats you at play!
