pie, Sir? Will you have a goose-berry-pie, Sir? Will you have a cherry-pie, Sir? Will you have a currant-pie, Sir? Will you have a plum-pie, Sir? Will you have a pigeon-pie, Sir ?”—“ Any pie, Madam, but a magpie." You are at liberty, Sir, to make what use you think proper of these anecdotes, to which the shortness of my stay in London will not allow me to make any present addition. In narrating them I have preferred perspicuity to ornament, and fidelity to a polished expression. They are the rough transcript of my heart; and I have no time to make a second copy of them, or to give them a more finished dress. I am, Sir, Your very humble Servant, THEOPHILUS SWIFT.
