If I or she should chance to be
Involved in this affair,
He trusts to you to set them free,
Exactly as we were.
My notion was that you had been
(Before she had this fit)
An obstacle that came between
Him, and ourselves, and it.
Don't let him know she liked them best,
For this must ever be
A secret, kept from all the rest,
Between yourself and me.
Lewis Carroll.
MY RECOLLECTEST THOUGHTS
My recollectest thoughts are those
Which I remember yet;
And bearing on, as you'd suppose,
The things I don't forget.
But my resemblest thoughts are less
Alike than they should be;
A state of things, as you'll confess,
You very seldom see.
And yet the mostest thought I love
Is what no one believes—
That I'm the sole survivor of
The famous Forty Thieves!
Charles E. Carry.
