From the South Wales Daily News:—
As Groom, Coachman, or Groom-Gardener, plain; wife good Cook; or otherwise, if required. Good references.
"Or otherwise, if required," is delicious. She would be a bad cook or an indifferent one "if required." So convenient!
Half-and-Half.
(After Reading some recent Political Speeches.)
Although in the queer Party story
There's many a turn, and many a twist;
'Tis strange to see Joseph half Tory,
And Salisbury half Socialist!
