No man knows their haunts better than Brown." Here is a picture of the famous Brown, drawn by the same pen: "Brown is a huge fellow, coarse in his features, resembling a dressed up carman.

His face is very red, and on Sundays he passes up and down the aisles of Grace Church with a peculiar swagger.

He bows strangers into a pew, when he deigns to give them a seat, with a majestic and patronizing air designed to impress them with a relishing sense of the obligation he has conferred upon them." Later Peter Marie wrote the poem, "Brown of Grace Church," beginning: "O glorious Brown! thou medley strange, Of church-yard, ball-room, saint and sinner, Flying in morn through fashion's range, And burying mortals after dinner, Walking one day with invitations, Passing the next with consecrations." This is the eloquent story of Mr.and Mrs.Newly-Rich who did not seek the social chaperonage of the all-powerful Brown.

He had been a reputable and successful hatter.

She had made vests for a fashionable tailor.
