As I have retired, and live at my ease, I possess the means that I used to want, of considering what I have seen, at leisure. MOST of us see some romances in life. I have come home from the Play now, and can recall the scenes of the Drama upon which the curtain has fallen, free from the glare, bewilderment, and bustle of the Theatre. In my capacity as Chief Manager of a Life Assurance Office, I think I have within the last thirty years seen more romances than the generality of men, however unpromising the opportunity may, at first sight, seem. My experiences have a more remarkable aspect, so reviewed, than they had when they were in progress.
