"Yes, Ma'am. And for the Kitchen?"
"Oh—well—there's some of that Potted Ham still left we had for Breakfast yesterday. It's just on the turn, you know, so you may as well finish it Downstairs. It will do very well for your Dinner to-day, and To-morrow you shall each have an Egg!"
THE DEARTH OF GENIUSES.
(Dedicated to the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour.)
Cried Genius A. to Genius B., "Let's summon Genius C.,
And, to make a partie carrée, we will call in Genius D."
And when they were assembled these solemn four sat down,
And they all read Mr. Balfour's speech, and read it with a frown.
Said Genius A., "No Geniuses? By Heaven, he's talking rot!"
