"Indeed, your Highness Quintessence of Othelloism, I hardly understand you," replied the citizen. "Bah!" said the sable monarch, " you no understand I want some jewellery, and you not know where Twentyhundredweight live ?" "Indeed," replied the perplexed citizen, "I do not, and I have lived in Auckland more than twenty years ; but," he added, suddenly turning to an intelligent member of the Observer staff, " perhaps i/o it can inform lis Majesty." " Oh, yes," said the 1.M.0.5., " I know what the old buffer wants. He wants to see Singleton, the jeweller, corner of Hobson and Victoria streets." It was some days before the member of the Reception Committee realised that twenty-hundredweight make a Singleton.
