And he saw his secretarial clerk,

One Wilford (Norman Forbes),

Go prying about in the ancient room

Hung round with family daubs;

And he "went" forthwith for that timid clerk,

Whose name was Norman Forbes.

"By hell!" he shrieked, and held him fast;

"Untrusty youth, unstable—"

He raved in his face and clenched his fists,

And chased him round the table.
