Going up to the marquess, she pressed half a crown into his hand, bidding him to go into the shop and have a good tea. Following her behest, tlie marquess went into the. -hop, had a cup of tea, and left the half-'Town under the saucer for the girl who served him. The old lady aiterwards learned that she had tipped one of 1110 wealthiest peers 'n the Kingdom.
