But, 'in strict confidence —aow mind,’ They swallow privately Whatever slabs you like to grind.” Said I, “I quite agree.” I went and called on Mrs Jones And mugged her latest twins; She thought the present Government Weren’t worth a row of pins. « Im going to vote to turn ’em out, And make Jones too,” said she • (Cf this I hadn't any doubt), So said, •* I quite agree.”

To Farmer Giles 1 promis'd I’d Support the hold that’s free. Saia he, “ I’m glad you’re on our side.” Said I, “ I quit© agree,” I had a toughish job next bout— A chap called Doubting Bill. He said that Seldon was played out, AadMass-y made him ill. Seme, "Tom Taylor’s Fancy Mob Are JUST the push for me Yen couldn’t lend me thirty bob Said I, " Oh, well, I’ll see.” I swore to Miss Priscilla Spinks, If she would put me in, To knock out smoking—oath?—and drinks— And every kind of Sin.
