A Valuable Beaver


A GRAND entertainment taking place at Belvoir Castle, on the occasion of

the coming of age of the Marquis of Granby, the company were going out

to see the fireworks, when Theodore Hook came in great tribulation to

the Duke of Rutland, who was standing near Sir Robert Peel, and said:

Now isn't this provoking? I've lost my hat. What can I do?--Why did

you part with your hat? I never do, said his Grace. Ay! rejoined

Theodore, but you have especial good reasons for sticking to your

Beaver (Belvoir).
