D the Disgrace he had got in again,

E was the Evening when Toby was gay,

F was the Fate that befell him next day,

G was the Grave look on Muriel’s face,

H was the Hist’ry of Toby’s disgrace:—

J was his Jump to get out of the door,

K was the Kick that he got as he past,

L was the Lesson—alas! not the last,

M was the Milk that he stole from the cat,
