A Walking Wonder
Sir Geoffrey had a little son
Who liked to strut about
And wave a sword or shoot a bow
And raise a martial shout.
One day he saw a sight like this
[Helmet walking with four legs and a tail]
And did he run? Oh, no!
He caught this walking helmet fast
And raised the visor so!
[Cat under helmet]
Transcriber’s Notes:
The title for “A DELIGHTFUL WRITER” was taken from the page header as the story itself began with only the illustration.
HOWARD’S WAY: “attemped” changed to “attempted” (once attempted to answer)
WHEN HE WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD: “mysstery” changed to “mystery” (whose mystery fills)
