It certainly seems, then, a very strange thing, if monarchy’s season is o’er, that v.c should let Wilhelm and Company cling to castles and manors galore. We loved little Willie in days long ago, he goose-stepped so peerlessly high, but when at the finish he fled from the foe, we bade him eternal good-bye. He’d proved without doubt that he wasn't the sort, to help in the Vaterland’s plight, and that we should pay such a pup to support, we think neither proper nor right.” And so they propose to annex the estate, and give for it no recompense, so let’s hope these symptoms at last demonstrate, that Germaines learning some sense.
