Grosjean, Restaurateur, _Castle-street, Leicester-square_, a l'honneur de
prevenir Milord Melbourne qu'il se trouvera bien servi a son etablissement.
Il peut commander un bon potage an choux, trois plats, avec pain a
discretion, et une pinte de demi-et-demi; enfin, il pourra parfaitement
avoir ses sacs souffles[4] pour un schilling. La societe est tres
comme-il-faut, et on ne donne rien au garcon.
[4] French idiom--"He will be well able to blow his bags
out!"--PUNCH, with the assistance of his friend in the
show--the foreign gentleman.
4.
(Rose-coloured paper, scented. At first supposed to be from a lady of the
bedchamber, but contradicted by the sequel.)
Flattering deceiver, and man of many loves,
My fond heart still clings to your cherished memory. Why have I listened to
the honied silver of your seducing accents? Your adored image haunts me
night and day. How is the treasury?--can you still spare me ten shillings?
YOURS,
AMANDA.

JOHN MARVAT respectfully begs to offer to the notice of Lord Melbourne his
Bachelor's Dispatch, or portable kitchen. It will roast, bake, boil, stew,
steam, melt butter, toast bread, and diffuse a genial warmth at one and the
same time, for the outlay of one halfpenny. It is peculiarly suited for
_lamb_, in any form, which requires delicate dressing, and is admirably
adapted for concocting mint-sauce, which delightful adjunct Lord Melbourne
may, ere long, find some little difficulty in procuring.
