ANON. Then let us beat this ample field, Try what the open, what the covert, yield. POPE. How many things there are in this world, of which Diogenes hath no need 1 IZAAK WALTON. In gospel phrase, their chapmen they betray, Their shops are dens, the buyer is their prey. DRYDKN. Before and Behind the Counter. EVERY object or article purchased in a Roman shop, by an English or Amer- ican customer, is rated at very nearly double its value ; and the universal custom there, even among the people them...selves, is to carry on a haggling market of aggression on the part of the purchaser, and defence on that of the vender, which is often as comical as it is disgusting. In Nataletti's shop, a scene is de- scribed as having some time since oc- curred between the salesman and a lady purchaser, which would doubtless have amazed the parties behind and before the counters of Howell & James, Stew- art, etc. The lady, after choosing her stuff and the quantity she required, was observed to begin a regular attack upon the shopman ; it was mezea voce, indeed, but continuous, eager, vehe- ment, pressing, overpowering, to a degree indescribable and the luckless man having come for a moment from behind the shelter of his long table, the lady smartly seized him by the arm, and holding him fast, argued her point with increasing warmth.
