Edmund Yates says : “ The royal Irish are having a bad time of it among the daughters of Erin just now. They are compelled to attend the ladies’ land meetings Sunday after Sunday, and ask the lively young persons who attend* them for their names. The mischievous maidens, most of whom have beetl educated at convent schools, have now taken to answering the constabulary queries in German. French, and oven Latin. Under* the circumstances the policeman’s lot is not a happy one, for polyglot dictionaries are not included in his ‘ kit.’ ”
