The driver of a London ’bus the other day broke out into florid language as he nearly collided with a brand new motor omnibus.
One of the travesties of “motor-’bus” which he hurled at his rival is depicted in this diagram. What was it?
A PRIZE ANAGRAM
This letter-perfect anagram could not be more apposite if the words had been chosen from a dictionary:—“Abdul Hamid Khan, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire.”—“Inhuman despot, that maketh Armenia bloodful.”
The words in italics in—
One lovely May morn it chanced that I set
My all on a new speculation;
But the venturesome step I can never regret,
For my prize has surpassed expectation,
find in Matrimony their anagram, which is also the solution of the lines.
