Mr.Jeremiah's new friends paid so much homage to the promising appearance of her jaws, that they made room for her very respectfully as she pressed up to her master.

He, whose recent excesses in wine had re-established Juno in the plenitude of her favour, saw with approving calmness his female friend lay both her fore-paws on the table--and appropriate all that remained on his plate, to the extreme astonishment of all present.
'My friend,' said Mr.Jeremiah, to a footman who was on the point of pulling away the unbidden guest, 'don't you, for God's sake, get into any trouble.

My Juno understands no jesting on these occasions: and it might so happen that she would leave a mark of her remembrance with you, that you would not forget so long as you lived.' 'But I suppose, Sir, you won't expect that a dog can be allowed to sup with her Highness's company!' 'Oh! faith, Sir, credit me--the dog is a more respectable member of society than yourself, and many a one here present: so just leave me and my Juno unmolested.

Else I may, perhaps, take the trouble to make an example of you.' The princess, whose attention was now drawn, made a sign to the servant to retire; and Von Pilsen and his friends could scarcely keep down their laughter to a well-bred key, when Mr.Schnackenberger drew his pipe from his pocket--loaded it--lit it at one of the chandeliers over the supper-table--and, in one minute, wrapped the whole neighbourhood in a voluminous cloud of smoke.
As some little damper to their merriment, however, Mr.Schnackenberger addressed a few words to them from time to time:--'You laugh, gentlemen,' said he; 'and, doubtless, there's something or other very amusing,--no doubt, infinitely amusing, if one could but find it out.
However, I could make your appetites for laughing vanish--aye, vanish in one moment.

For, understand me now, one word--one little word from me to Juno, and, in two minutes, the whole room shall be as empty as if it had been swept out with a broom.
