Thackeray, William Makepeace, 1811-1863

"Burlesques"

I
was gone into a new spear of life--mingling with my native aristoxy.
I breathe no sallible of blame against Miss H., but his a hilliterit
cookmaid fit to set at a fashnable table? Do young fellers of rank
genrally marry out of the Kitching? If we cast our i's upon a low-born
gal, I needn say it's only a tempory distraction, pore passy le tong. So
much for HER claims upon me. Has for THAT BEEST OF A DOCTOR'S BOY he's
unwuthy the notas of a Gentleman.
"That I've one thirty thousand lb, AND PRAPS MORE, I dont deny. Ow much
has the Kilossus of Railroads one, I should like to know, and what was
his cappitle? I hentered the market with 20lb, specklated Jewdicious,
and ham what I ham. So may you be (if you have 20lb, and praps you
haven't)--So may you be: if you choose to go in & win.
"I for my part am jusly PROWD of my suxess, and could give you a hundred
instances of my gratatude. For igsample, the fust pair of hosses
I bought (and a better pair of steppers I dafy you to see in hany
curracle,) I crisn'd Hull and Selby, in grateful elusion to my
transackshns in that railroad. My riding Cob I called very unhaptly my
Dublin and Galway. He came down with me the other day, and I've jest
sold him at 1/4 discount.
"At fust with prudence and modration I only kep two grooms for my
stables, one of whom lickwise waited on me at table.
