_Editor._ But if we _did_ believe it?

_Second Solor._ That is your business and not ours; and so, Sir, we shall
be glad of the names of your Solicitors.

[_The information is afforded, and the_ Editor _returns to his work, until
interrupted by_ Third Solicitor.

_Third Solor._ Sorry to disturb you, but you have been libelling one of our
clients. He objects to your putting his Christian name in the paper--says
that even with another surname it will injure him with his neighbours. He
doesn't want his Christian name to be figuring in the public prints.

_Ed._ And what is his Christian name?

_Third Solor._ ZOZIMUS.

_Ed._ Why, that is mine! I thought I was the only man in the world with
that name, with the solitary exception of my godfather!

_Third Solor._ Very likely you are--your godfather is our client.

_Ed._ Then mustn't I print my own name?

_Third Solor._ Certainly not without running the risk of an action for
libel. The address of your Solicitors, please?

[_The_ Editor _gives the desired information, and then sends up "the
Pleasure of Editing" to the Composing Room as a line for the Contents Bill
