"Aunt Jane observed the second time
She tumbled off a 'bus,
The step is short from the sublime
To the ridiculous."'
—Daily Telegraph.
'Another charming whimsicality published by Mr. Edward Arnold is "Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless Homes."'—Sydney Morning Herald.
'The veriest nonsense, possessing the quality that makes it akin to Carroll's work.'—New York Bookworm.
'It is difficult to see the humour of
"Philip, foozling with his cleek,
Drove his ball through Helen's cheek.
Sad they bore her corpse away,
Seven up and six to play."'
—Scotsman.
