Mrs. Golightly. "How wonderful! Ah, I Wish my Husband was A Millionaire!"


AWFUL RESULT OF THE COAL FAMINE.

(Upon an Ordinarily Innocent and Non-punning Fire-worshipper).

Oh! what a period! Strikes might puzzle Solon!

I love, in winter—having shut up shop—

My snug back-parlour fire to semi-colon,

Now there's no colon, fuel's at a full-stop!

I have burned coke, wood, turf, aye, even slate,

But to no fire myself cannot a-comma-date!
