It is that of the grimy, un- shaven, unwashed, mangy-looking tramp who sits down to write, with a broken quill, a testimonial for a firm of soap makers: “I used your soap two years ago; since then I’ve used no ccher.”” A further point of interest about this fa- mous sketch was that Charles Keene was deeply offended by it at first, in the groundless belief that it was intended as a skit upon himself.

Douglas Jerrold, says Walter Thornbury, suggested that it was one of the sentimental kind which, having been crossed in love, took to whistling to keep up appearances and show it didn’t care. Thackeray declared in all seriousness that he heard an American in the shop, after listening to the per- formance, gravely assert that at home in Massachusetts they had a much cleverer cyster, which not only whistled “ Yankee Doodle from beginning to end, but followed his master about like a dog. And it was further suggested that, re- port having exaggerated the powers of the-performer into being able to whistle “God Save the Queen,” the proprietor had ben requested to take it to Windsor Castle, but that the command had been summarily cancelled when it was ascer- tained that the musician was a“ native!
