Borrow, George Henry, 1803-1881

"Oh, you mean the London TIMES," said the man in grey. "Pooh! I

"Pray don't order any more on my account," said I, "as you see my

to-morrow, which is Saturday. I like to take things leisurely, on
which account, when I go to market, I generally set out the day
before, in order that I may enjoy myself upon the road.
