Annabel does not think me young. She asked me yesterday if I had ever spoken to Queen Elizabeth; but she likes to hear what I did in that Palæolithic age when I was little. I will tell her about Gilbert when I tuck her up to-night, and see what she says.

Jack and His Pony, Tom

H. Belloc

Jack had a little pony, Tom.

He frequently would take it from

The stable where it used to stand

And give it sugar with his hand.

He also gave it oats and hay
