heard - tialtil - eld friend Gordon was' ma
king money fast ; that-he was to give a
'very grand dinner party the next. day,-and
that the said. dinner was t 6 be served. on
smite splendid new dining -tables, imported
from--Europe-by the luxurious civilian :
this information seemed strangely to inter
est Ghariey. At eleven o; cleatnem, meta
ing,4the gallant Colonel jumped into his
palanquin, and away he jogged to Chow
ringee, to see his old friend.
' Sahib in Gliurnil' hi ?".rhe question'
replied to in the aflirmatiVe, Charley as
cended the stairs amid the low salaams - of
the - linen ivrapped kipmigars w,ho lolled
about the piazzas and passages-. - At last
the great hall or banqueting-room was
gained, and a very fine room it was..
'Gordon Sabih—makes shape—come di
rectly;" saiii. the confidential sear of the
great - man."- -
‘Bobut ocher,' responded the visitor.
_ _.
'Walk in here.' • - •
• 'Rather not here till your
master has finished his toilette :.y . ou may
go;' and t e-Colonel began to hum an - air
with a egree of carlcssness peculiar to
tie 1 - ed people, very different, from the
vulgarity of Mrs. Trollope's Americans.---
The black servant vanished; so did - Miic
auley's indifference as he,quitted the room,
for in the middle of the hall stood
flea!, tables that had just arrived from Eng
land. The colonel %Vas a rnah who sew
made up his mind; he gave 'one glance a
round to insure that. he was unobserved,
and in another instant he pulled out a yard
measure; and ascertaining the, exact height
of the tables, which .he instantly ,set -down-
in his pocket-book; then lollineent,of the
•wihdows, began to Watch-the haclrerieg,
tomjoihns, palanquins, and other detesta
ble vehicles, which rapidly flitted. through
Chowringee.
most knowing men are sometimes
mistaken in their calculations; for . otice e
ven Macauley was deceived; he had thought
himself unobserved; but lie was in error ;
for as the cedar had truly said, his master
,was shaving in the next room ; his back
was towards the door, his eyes on a look,
ing-gloss, which, unfortunately . for
Char
ley, reflected it. NOW, it so happened, that
the, said door was . slightly ajar the
Measuring took plee, so without" turning
round, or, widening the aperature fuithei,
the owner of the tables saw the whole — op
eration, and•made up his mind to turn the
tables on his friend; , but .to do this it re
quired gumption, 'as we- shall see by. the
-• • -
