THE PLAIN MAN.
IN PRAISE OF ONE. WHO IS OF ALL TIME.
[BY D. . #YNDRAM. LEWIS, THE FAMOUS ENGLISH HUMORIST.]
The year is 1795, and the scene a room in Windsor Cantia. A tall foolman, we may suppose, has just lighted the candles in the silver sconces and re moved the tes equipage; and the curtains are drawn across the windows looking out across the Great Park. The Queen's women-in-waiting are sitting at their needlework; it is their hour off duty in that deary Court of George III. and Caroline and they enckle decorously. Is Mrs. Schwellenberg there, the bully- ing old German harridan forget. Little Fanny Burney is there, however, invincibly cheerful in spite of the fron discipline of Windsor, which is soon to leave her a nervouk wreck. Suddenly the door opens. There is a hurried rising and curtsying. The King enters, red-faced, stout, kind,, fatherly, and dull. Fanny Burney describes the scene in ber Diary. The King'sat down by her and began to discuss the theatre. complaining of the lack of "good modern comedies" and of the extreme immorality of most of the old ones
