OVIDIUS REMARK.
ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
| Ovid quite at Tomi. | Tomi not quite at Tomi at Ovid. |
(From a confirmed Tea-Drinker, who, suffering from Gout, has been forbidden his favourite beverage.)
DEAR TOPER,—Alas, no more of "The generous" for some time to come, and, what afflicts me most is, I am cut off from my Tea! "What, no soap! So he died." Substitute "Tea" for "Soap," and there I am. My boy TOMMY, who is at home for the holidays, reminds me of what OVID said at Tomi, not to TOMMY, as they were not contemporaries, "Nec tecum vivere possum, nec sine te." For "te" read "tea," and that's my case to a T.
