WHO WOULD FAIN DRAW
A good salary. A good dividend. A good audience. The honse down. Innumerable teeth. The winning number. Brands from the burning. The long bow. The sword for Old England. A moral from everything he sees or hears. His horns in, when it’s too late. The custom of the ‘Johnnies.’ Blood from a stone. His lacteal fluid from the water tap. At a narghile. Graveward less slowly. On an overdrawn account. Promethean fire from on high. Pathetic sighs at will. His fathei's will up. His own pint of ale. Her waist into its smallest compass. A curtain o’er the past. A lighter load. His breath more freely. A few pounds less. A cork scientifically.
