John raikes and his friend frank remand, surnamed franco, to suit the requirements of metre, in which they habitually conversed, were walking arm-in-arm along the drive in society’s park on a fine frosty sunday afternoon of midwinter. The quips and jokes of franco were lively, and he looked into the carriages passing, as if he knew that a cheerful countenance is not without charms for their inmates. Jack’s face, on the contrary, was barren and bleak. ". Date: 8 September 1860.
