A little girl was walking beside her mother, when she suddenly exclaimed. “Oh, mummy, do look at that funny man on the other side of the road.” “What is he doing dear?” asked her mother. “Don’t you see mother?” the little girl replied. “He’s sitting on the pavement talking to a banana skin!” —Cousin Bridget O’Flynn.

It’s an alarm clock.” New Servant: “Well, mum, I can’t stand it. It woke me up this morning.” —Cousin Bridget O’Flynn WELL BROUGHT UP. Anybody could see Harold had been carefully brought up.
