FRIDAY MORNING Dee: 25, 1868
My Christmas Dinner.
It was on the twentieth of De
cemlier that I received an invitation
from my friend, Mr. Phiggins, to dine
with him in Mark lane, on Christmas
day. I had several reasons for de
clining this proposition. The first
was, that Nr. P. makes it a rule, at
all these festivals, to empty the entire
contents of his counting-house into his
little dining parlor; and you conse
quently sit down to dinner with six
white-v.aisted clerks, let loose upon a
turkey. The second Wd», that I am
not sufficiently well read in cotton and
sugar, to enter with any spirit into
the subject of conversation. And the
third was, and is, that I never drink
Cape wine. But by far the most pre
vailing reason remains to be told. I
had been anticipating for some days,
and was hourly in the hope of receiv
ing, an invitation to spend my Christ
mas day in a most irresistible quarter,
f was expecting, indeed, the felicity
of eating plum-pudding with an angel;
and* on the strength ot’ my imaginary
engagement, I returned a polite note
to Mr P., reducing him to the neces
sity of. advertising for another candi
date for cape and turkey.
The twenty-first came. Another
invitation —to dine with a regiment of
roast-beef eaters at Clapham. I de
clined this also, for the above reason,
and for one other, viz that, on dining
there ten Christmas days ago, it was
discovered, on sitting down, that one
little accompaniment of the roast beef
had been entirely overlooked. Would
it be believed ?—but I will not stay to
mystify—l merely mention the fact. —
They had forgotten the horse-radish !
The next day arrived, and with it a
neat epistle, sealed with violet-col
oured wax, from upper Brook street.
“Dino with the ladies—at home on
Christmas flay.” Very tempting, it
is true ; but not exactly the letter I
was longing for. 1 began, however,
to debate within myself upon the
policy of securing this bird in hand,
instead of waiting for the two that
were still hopping about the bush,
when the consultation was suddenly
brought to a closej by a prophetic
view of the portfollioof drawing fresh
from boarding-school—moths and
roses on embossed paper ; to say noth
ing of the album, in which I Stood en
t-aged to write an elegy on a Java
sparrow, that had Keen a favorite in
in the family for three days. I rung
foi” gilt-edged, . pleaded a world of
polite regret, and again declined.
The twenty-third dawued; time
was getting on rather rapidly; but no
card came. I began to despair of any
more invitations, and to repent of my
refusals. Breakfast was hardly over,
however, when the servant brought up
—not a letter—but an aunt and a
brace of cousins from Bayswater.—
They tyould listen to no excuse; con
sanguinity required me, and Christmas
was not inv own. Now my cousins
keep no albums; they are really as
pretty as cousins can bo ; and when
v iolent hands, with white kid gloves,
are laid on one, it is sometimes diffi
cult to effect aft escape with becoming
elegance. 1 could not, however, give
up my darling hope of a pleasanter
prospect. They fought with me in
fifty engagements —that J pretended
to have made, I showed them the
Court Guide, with ten names obliter
ated—being those of persons who had
not asked me to mince meat and mis
tle-toc; and I ultimately gained my
cause by quartering the remains of an
infectious fever on the sensitive fears
of my aunt, and by dividing a rheu
matism and a sprained ancle between
mv sympathetic cousins.
As soon as they wore gone I Walked
out, sauntering ‘involuntarily in the
direction of the only house in which
I felt I could spend a “happy” Christ
mas. As I approached, a porter
brought a large hamper to the door.
“A present from the county, ’ thought
I; “yes, they do dine at home; they
must ask me ; they know that'l am in
town.” Immediately afterwards a
servant issued with a letter ; he took
the nearest way to my lodgings, and I
hurried back by another street to re
ceive the so-much-wished-for invita
tion. I was in a state of deilrious de
light.
I arrived—but there was no letter.
1 sate down to wait, in a spirit of
calmer enjoyment than I had experi
enced for some days: and in less than
half an hour a note was brought to
me. At length the desired dispatch
had come; it Beamed written on the
leaf of a lily when n pen dipped in
-lew. 1 oncned it —and had nearly
fainted with disappointment. It was
from a stock-broker, who begins an
anecdote of .Mr. Kothschild liciorc din
ner, and finishes it with the fourth
bottle—and who makes his eight chil
dren stay up to sapper and sna|edm
gmj. In Mackmlamizinq a stray
stone in one of bis periodical puddings,
i once lost a tooth, nnd with it an
I heiress of some reputation. I wrote a
most irritable apology, and dispatched
my wannest regards in a whirlwind.
December the twenty-fourth—l
began to count the hours, uttered
many poetical things about the wings
of Time. Alack! no letter came; —
yes, I received a note from a distin
guished dramatist, requesting the
honour, etc. But 1 was too cunning
for this, and practised wisdom for
once. I happened to reflect that his
pantomine was to make its appearance
on the night after, and that his object
was to perpetrate the whole pro
gramme 'upon me. Regret that I
could not have the pleasure of meeting
Mr. Ponlo, and the rest of the literati
to be then and there assembled,
was of course immediately expressed.
My mind became restless and
agitated. I felt, amidst all these in
vitations, cruelly neglected. They
served, indeed, but to increase my
my uneasiness, as they opened pros
pects of happiness in which I could
take no share. They discovered a most
tempting desert, composed of forbid
den fruit. I took down “Childe
Harold,” and read myself into a
sublime contempt of mankind. I
began to perceive that merriment is
only malice in disguise, and that the
chief cardinal virtue is misanthropy.
I sate “nursing my wrath” till it
scotxjied me, when the arrival of an
other epistle suddenly charmed me
from this state of delicious melancholy
and delightful endurance of wrong.—
I sickened as I surveyed, and trem
bled as I opened it. It was dated
from ,but not matter; it was not
the letter. In such a frenzy as mine,
raging to behold the object of my
adoration condescend, not to eat a
custard, but to render it invisible—to
be invited perhaps to a tart fabricated
by her own ethereal fingers; with
such possibilities before me, how could
I think of joining a “friendly party”
where I should inevitably sit next to a
deaf lady, who had been, when a little
girl, patted on the head by Wilks, or
my Lord North, she could not recol
lect which—had taken tea with the
author of “Junius,” but had forgotten
his name —and who once asked me
‘‘whether Mr. Munden’s monument
was in Westminster Abbey or St.
Paul’s *?” I seized a pen, and pre
sented my compliments. I hesitated
for the peril and precariousness of my
situation flashed on my mind ; but
hope had still left me a straw to catch
at, and I at length succeeded in re
sisting this late and terrible tempta
tion.
After the first burst of excitement I
sunk into still deeper despondency.—
My spirit became a prey to anxiety
and remorse. I could not eat; dinner
was removed with unlisted covers.
I went out. The world seemed to
have acquired a new face; nothing
was to be seen but raisins and rounds
of beef. I wandered about the Lear—
I had given up all! I felt myself
grated against the world like a nut
meg. It grew dark—l sustained a
still gloomier shock. Every chance
seemed to have expired, and every
body seemed to have a delightful en«
gagement for the next day. I alone
was disengaged—l felt like tne
Last Man! To-morrow appeared to
have already commenced its career;
mankind had anticipated the future;
“and coming mince-pies east their
shadows before.”
In this state of desolation and dis
may I called —I conld not help it—at
the house to which I had so fondly
anticipated an invitation and a wel
come. My protest must here how
ever be recorded, that though I called
in the hope of being asked, it was my
fixed determination not to avail myself
of so protracted a piece of politeness.
No, my triumph would have been to
have annihilated them with an en
gagement made in September, paya
ble three months after date. With
these feelings I gave an agitated
knock—they were stoning the plums,
and did not immediately attend. I
rung—how uulike a dinner boll it
sounded! A girl at length made her
appearance, and, with a mouthful of
citron, informed me that the family
had gone to spend their Christmas-eve
in Portland place. I rushed down the
steps, I hardly knew whither. My first
impulse was to go to. some wharf and
inquire what vessels were starting
for America. But it was a cold night
I went home aud threw myself on my
mirerablc couch. In other words I
went to bod.
I dozed and dreamed away the hours
till day-break. Sometimes I fancied
myself" seated in a roaring circle,
roasting chesmuts ata blazing log; at
others, that I had fallen into the Ser
pentine while skating, and that the
Humane« Society were piling upon me
a Pelion, or rather a Vesuvius of
blankets. I awoke a little refreshed.
Alas! it was the twenty-fifth of thp
month—it was Cbristmas-day ! the
reader, if he possess the imagination
of Miltofi, conceive my sensations.
I swallowed an atom of dry toast —
nothing could calm tlie fever of my
soul. I stirred the fire and read
Zimmerman alternately. Even reason
the last remedy one has recourse to in
such cases—came at length to my re
lief. I argued myself into a philoso
phic fit. But, unluckily, just a» the
Lcthen tide 'within me was at its
height, my landlady broke in upon my
letliargy, and chased away by a single
word all the little sprites and pleasure*
that wore acting as my phyri< .ms,
mid prescribing balm for my wound*.
She paid me the usual compliments,
an<l then—“B<> you dine at home
to-day, Kir?” abruptly inquired she.
Here was a question No Spanish
inqnhitor ever infliete*! “nrli complete
AUGUSTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25, 1868
dismay in so short a sentence. Had
site given me a Sphynx to expound, a
Gordian tangle to untwist; bad she
set me a lesson in algebra, or asked
me the way to Brobigang; had she
desired me to show her the North
pole, or the meaning of a melodrama;
any or all of these I might have ac
complished. But to request me to
define my dinner—to inquire into its
latitude —to compel inc to fathom that
srtt of appetite which I now felt rush
ing through my frame —to»ask me to
dive into futurity, and become the pro
phet of pies and preserves! My heart
died within me at the impossibility of
a reply.
She had repeated the question before
I could collect my senses around me.
Then, for the first time, it occurcd to
me that, in the event of my having no
engagement abroad, my landlady
meant to invite me ! “There will at
least be the two daughters,” I whis
pered to myself; “and after all, Lucy
Matthews is a charming girl, and
touches the harp divinely. She has a
very small, pretty hand, I recollect;
only her fingers are so punctured by
the needle—and I rather think she
bites her nails. No, I will not even
now give up my hope. It was yester
day but a straw —to-day it is but the
thistledown; but 1 will cling to it to
the last moment. There arc still four
hours left; they will not- dine till six.
One desperate struggle, and the peril
is past; let me not pc seduced by this
last golden apple, and I may yet win
my race.” Tne struggle was made —
“I shouldenot dine at home.” This
was the only phrase left me; for I
could not say that “I should dine out.”
Alas! that an event should be at the
same time so doubtful and so desirable.
I only begged that if any letter ar
rived, it might be brought to me im
mediately.
The last plank, the last splinter, had
now given way beneath me. I was
floating about with no hope but the
chance of somethin" almost impos
sible. They had'“left me alone,” not
with/my glory, but with an appetite
that resembled an avalanche seeking
whom it might devour. I had passed
one dinnerlcss day, and half of an
other ; yet the promised land was as
far from sight as over. I recounted
the chances I had missed. The din
ners I might have enjoyed, passed in a
dioramic view before my eyes. Mr.
Huggins and his six clerks—the Clap
ham beef-eaters —the charms of Upper
Brook street —my pretty cousins, and
the pantomime writer—the stock
broker, whose stories one forgets, and
the elderly lady who forgets her
stories—they all marched by me, a
procession of apparitions. Even my
landlady’s invitation, though unborn,
was not forgotten in summing up my
sacrifices. And for what ?
Four o’clock. Hope was perfectly
ridiculous. I had been walking upon
the hair-bridge over a gulf, and could
not get into Elysium after all. I had
been catching moonbeams, and Tuning
after notes of music. Despair was
my only convenient refuge ; no chance
remained, unless something should
drop from the clouds. In this last
particular I was not disappointed; for
i«-<-Lin« up I perceived a heavy
shower of snow. Vet x obliged
to venture forth; for being supposed
to dine out, I could not of course re
main at home. Where to go I knew
not; I was like my first father—“the
world was all before me.” I flung my
cloak round me, and hurried forth with
the feelings of a bandit longing for a
stiletto. At the foot of the stairs, I
staggered against two or three smil
ing rascals, pridmg themselves upon
their punctuality. They had just ar
rived—to make" the tour of Turkey.—
How 1 hated them ! As J rushed by
the parlor, a single glance disclosed to
me a blazing fire, with Lucy and
several lovely creatures in a semi-circle.
Fancy, too, gave me a glimpse of a
spring of mistletoe —1 vanished frofn
the house, a spectre at day'break.
How long I wandered about is
doubtful. At last I happened to look
through a kitchen window, with an
area in front, and saw a villian with
a fork in his hand, throwing himself
back in his chair chocked w ith ecstaey.
Another w T as feasting with a graver
air; he seemed to be swallowing a bit
of Paradise, and criticising its flavour.
This was too irtuch for mortality—my
appetite fastened rfpon me like an al
ligator. I darted from the spot; and
only a few yards farther discerned a
house, with rather an elegant exterior,
and with some ham in the window
that looked perfectly sublime. There
was no time for consideration—to
hesitate was to perish. I entered; it
was indeed “a banquet-hall deserted.”
The very waiters had gone home to
their friends. There, however, I
found a fire: and there —to sum up all
my folly and felicity in a single w ord
—I dined.
