ABOUTmid—dayMr。andMrs。Petulengrocametothedingletopaythepromisedvisit。Belle，atthetimeoftheirarrival，wasinhertent，butIwasatthefire—place，engagedinhammeringpartoftheouter—tire，ordefence，whichhadcomeofffromoneofthewheelsofmyvehicle。OnperceivingthemIforthwithwenttoreceivethem。Mr。PetulengrowasdressedinRomanfashion，withasomewhatsmartly—cutsporting—coat，thebuttonsofwhichwerehalf—crowns—andawaistcoat，scarletandblack，thebuttonsofwhichwerespadedhalf—
