Have you seen anything of “Pauline”? I will send you down one of the first copies. We have renewed an old acquaintance with the author, who is the “poet-boy” we used to know years ago. He is very interesting from his great power of conversation and thorough originality, to say nothing of his personal appearance, which would be unexceptionably poetical if Nature had not played him an ugly trick in giving him an ugly nose.
