' the bombardment ceases incontinent, -and sits down. The sadden hash ~ wakes everybody up with a jerk. At that moment a sleepy member wan- - ders in with the air of having taken a " wrong turn in search of a dormitory. ' "There is exactly a House," says Mr Speaker in a tone of disappointment catching sight of the sleepy wandering member. There is no Standing ■aJDrder to authorise the instant killing crfcfthe wandering member. So the is resumed. The House including the wandering member goes to sleep, and the' bombardment goes carefully through a carefully prepared | peroration about the "progress of the , spirit trf humanity." These magic words are the last projectile launched at the enemy through the lurid air, Mr Hogg's constituents will read all about the carefully prepared humanity - in Hansard, and they will know nothing of the unprepared humanity which went to sleep in the House. The noise ceasing the louse wakes ' up/ and the wandering member moves the adjournment.
