AT a house off the stones the bewitching Miss Jones, Who was ill of the fiddle dum dee, Invited Miss Rose with her little pug nose, And a good many others to tea; There was pretty Miss Brown and her elegant frown, With language correct as in print.
And ancient Miss Knight and her oculars bright, Despite of a bit of a squint.
Spoken.] W'ell, Miss Jones, it quite delights me to see you look so well. Poor thing! I wish I could return the compliment, she's nearly blind. How are you, Miss West? Lauks, I purtest you are wet through. I went ten minutes out of my way, to a confectioner's, to enquire if um brellas were lent on lure, and they told me to go lziylz'er on - so I got wet, but I don't mind it, for I called in at the Goat and Compasses, and had a glass of peppermint, and a half-pennyworth of penny winkles to take the chill off the rain. Ha, Miss North, your humble - Molly, a chair! Miss West, I avow you'll catch cold in those wet things. Do let me send you down to the kizchen fire. What! Mics Best, and Pompey, her poodle, too. Well, I declare l'm two honoured. Pompey, make your bow wow to the company. (dog barks.) O, the sweet crea ture, how was he taught to be so polite? Really, ma'am, l can't tell, but, as he is very sagacious. It strikes me he took it naturally. I was afraid, during his late temporary illness. His elegant roice might lose its tone, and so I sent to the Chemist's tor a pennyworth of bark. O, bless your heart! You are a kind mama! What, Miss Diggs, I hope you are well? Thank you, ma'am, but I couldn't come belo. E.
