Abstract
From ‘Punch Notes. ii’, Pall Mall Magazine, xvii (1899) 327–9. For Burnand, editor of Punch (1880–1906) see below, ii, 323. Andrew Arcedeckne, clubman and man-about-town, was ‘the original of Foker’, Thackeray confided, ‘don’t say so though’ (LPP, iv, 109). Many stories are told of his teasing Thackeray, though his famous ‘pianner’ crack has been attributed to others. Burnand confirms that Arcedeckne was indeed the perpetrator.

Notes
Music — an accompanied vocalist or a trio — often featured in poetry recitals, one-man-shows, and similar events, to provide some variety in the programme and to give the recitalist’s voice a rest. See Philip Collins, Reading Aloud: A Victorian Métier (Lincoln: Tennyson Society, 1972) pp. 14, 24.
