A very good fellow, the local dresser, who varied that occupabion by scene-shifting— (laugbtor)~ sald to me, 'Mr Toole, you ought nob to lease Liverpool. Why not settle down here ?' Well,. 1 told him I had to go to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, and other places, which helookedupon as foreign cities. (Laughter.) I therefore could not take up my residence here.
