DING DONG BELL
1 A large bell rings itself. Grandsire Triples. Its grandsire doubles.
2 A well is dug. Well, well!
3 J. Green, a very small boy, throws a dead cat into the well. It bobs.
4 T. Stout, another very small boy, sits fishing on the edge of the well. After some hours he pulls out aforesaid cat. Cat goes (or should go) into the hunt.
5 The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals invokes the majesty of the law (which is a hass), and attempts to crush J. Green, ætat 7. (Inset, Johnny’s sister feeding Johnny’s chicken.)
6 The Royal Humane Society awards Medal and Certificate to T. Stout, who is much moved. (Inset, Tommy’s mother getting Tommy’s tea.)
7 The galled jade winces, and the large bell is unrung in Stedman Triples instead.
