We were amused, and perhaps the Reader may, with the following definition of the word “
Genteel
.”
Q. Has any Body called (said Mr. Thin) while I have been out?
A. Yes, Sir, a Gentleman called, about Two o’Clock.
Q. What kind of a Person?
A. A Genteel Man, Sir—an extremely Genteel Man, Sir; for I think he was Taller and Thinner than You!!!
