There was little to be said after this, so the meeting was closed with a solo by Lady Arthur Hill, using with a truly touching touch:
In the pumpkin, oh, my darling,
Think not bitterly of me;
Though I went away in silence,
Though I couldn’t set you free.
For my heart was filled with longing,
For another piece of pie;
It was best to leave you there, dear,
Best for you and best for I.
Two of our most gentle and kindly humorists may not be quoted, because it would be a crime to separate their text and pictures.
