One can picture the SPIRITUALISM AND REALISM 229 table decked with its moth-eaten cloth, the piles of dust that represented the viands, the chairs pushed back in weird array, and the odour of the tomb that pervaded everything !
To all which, my enlightened twentieth century reader, there is probably another side. The whole thing may be an absolute fable.
In the days before Trade had made those gigantic strides which have since dumped its votaries amid the once sacred pages of Debrett, when knig...hts were not as common as blackberries, and the Vic- torian Order had not become a terror in the land, when buttermen sold butter, and furniture-men sold furniture, and before huge emporiums for the sale of everything had come into existence, it was " bazaars " that supplied the maximum of selection with the minimum of locomotion, such as to-day is to be found in the huge caravanserai yclept " Stores, " and in Tottenham Court Road and Westbourne Grove in particular.
In vSoho Square, on the western side, where to- day and all day men with pronounced features, forbidding countenances, and of usurious tenden- cies may be seen in a first floor window exchanging views on the iniquitous restrictions associated with stamped paper, a bazaar existed in the long- ago sixties where dogs that squeaked and elephants that wagged their tails might have been bought by children of tender years who, for aught we know, may have since been plucked of their last feather by the vultures that now hover over those happy hunting grounds.
