"I'll write down a few," said Jack, as he reached into the box under his chair and took out a sheet of paper and a pencil, and in five minutes he showed us the list:
"Rhymes and Roundelays. By James Redmond."
"A Picnic on Parnassus. By James Redmond."
"The Unlucky Fishermen, and other Poems. By James Redmond."
"Jimmy's Jingles."
"Songs of a School-boy."
"Minutes with the Muses. By James Redmond."
It did not take Ned very long to choose the third of these titles, which he thought "sounded the most sensible."
"Very well," said Jack, as he wrote a neat title-page and added it to the manuscript. "And how are you going to publish it?"
"I thought I'd get you to tell me how," said Ned, who by this time had begun to suspect that he knew very little about it.
