The Foreign Tour of Messrs. Brown, Jones and Robinson / Being the History of What They Saw, and Did, in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland & Italy.

by Richard Doyle

MEETING BY MOONLIGHT.

ROBINSON, AFTER THE DEPARTURE OF JONES AND BROWN, SEATED HIMSELF BEFORE THE FIRE AND FELL FAST ASLEEP.

HE CONTINUED IN THAT STATE, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT THE PHILOSOPHERS BECAME VERY NOISY, AND EVEN WARLIKE.

—AND ALTHOUGH—AFTER THE LATTER HAD RETIRED (FORTUNATELY WITHOUT COMING TO BLOWS)—HIS CHAIR TOPPLED OVER, HE QUIETLY ASSUMED A HORIZONTAL POSITION.

FANCY THE FEELINGS OF JONES AND BROWN ON RETURNING, AND FINDING THEIR FRIEND LYING ON HIS BACK UPON THE FLOOR, SNORING!
