Peace to these little broken leaves, That strew our common ground; That chase their tails, like silly dogs, As they go round and round.

No, Mr. Williams, certainly not; if Mr. Drake a solicitor of the English Railway Company has purchased a 'Turner', he ought to know it is a Turner; I was once silly enough to look at a picture that I was told had been painted by me, and I found myself soon after stuck up in a witness-box, giving evidence about it; I then said I'll never be so silly again.

Courteney Cox
