CHAPTER XIV
21/29

Mr.Tibbets congratulated him.

Mr.Tibbets went so far as to say that he did not believe there was another such mansion in New York.
Mr.Tibbets did not remark that he had been kicked out of several of them, only less magnificent, because circumstances did not call for the statement.

Then Mr.Tibbets went away, and walked off hurriedly down the street to write out his report.
The next morning Mr.Belcher was up early in order to get his "Tattler" as soon as it was dropped at his door.

He soon found, on opening the reeking sheet, the column which held the precious document of Mr.
Tibbets, and read: "The Riot at Sevenoaks!!! "An interesting Interview with Col.

Belcher! "The original account grossly Exaggerated! "The whole matter an outburst of Personal Envy! "The Palgrave Mansion in a fume! "Tar, feathers and fagots! "A Tempest in a Tea-pot! "Petroleum in a blaze, and a thousand fingers burnt!!! "Stand out from under!!!" The headings came near taking Mr.Belcher's breath away.
