THE PAUL PRY OF THE LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL.

Mr. Rosebery. “Now then, don’t be ridiculous 1 We don't want any Paul Prys in the Council 1”

a bit to the Ingian Empire amost as big as all England ! But peeple
will xadgerate so ! His manly buzzom was amost covered with stars
and garters which he had gained, I spose, on many a field of slorter.
We was told as he had seen service m four of the Quarters of the
World, which ewen a pore Waiter must be aware must needs be
about all of ’em, unless, indeed, the World’s like a orange, and has
quite a lot of quarters, which isn’t not werry likely, I shood think.

Taking it all together it was about the most splendidest looking
Bankwet as ewen we Waiters had ewer seen at the Manshun House,
and we all agreed with the werry heminent Reporter as said as it

had hacshally beaten the Record! Strange to say, sum of the most
magnificentest of the many werry magnificient dressed of the Injean
Officers was quite at a loss when they cum to the Loving Cup sherry -
monial. But that’s a little mistery as it takes sum time to learn.
Ah, if they cood jest see Brown ana Me go thro’ it with what’s left
in the Cups, they wpod see what dignerty and grace and horty
demeaner belongs to it when propperly done. I thinks, upon the
hole, that “ Our Only General” gos through the sherrymony about as
well as any one I knows, and I feels quite sure as he’ll thoroly
apresheate my truthful complement. Robert.
