Q. reflects on civility and on the celebrations for the Queen's Birthday holiday. He did not attend the latter as Cleland's had no suits left for hire when Q. went to obtain one. Instead, he bought 'a twopenny pie at Hosie's, and ate it calmly on a door-step, and then devoted a pint of twos silently to the health of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, whom God preserve.'
