WHERE AND HOW TO SPEND A HAPPY DAY, WEATHER PERMITTING, OF COURSE.—Go to Sevenoaks; lovely drive, see Knole Park and House, drive back viâ Farningham—prettiest place possible, and one that the broken-hearted Tupman might have chosen for his retreat from the madding crowd—to Dartford, where dine at the ancient hostelrie called "The Bull." Recommended by the Punch faculty, the Bull and no mistake. Then up to London, still by road,—if a fine moonlight night, delightful,—and remember the summer day so well spent as "a Knole 'Oliday."
TOO CLEVER BY HALF.
(Being Questions and Answers Cut on the Straight.)
Question. So you have finished your education?
Answer. Yes, thanks to the liberality of the School Board.
Q. Do you know more than your parents?
A. Certainly, as my father was a sweep, and my mother a charwoman.
Q. Would either occupation suit you?
A. Certainly not; my aspirations soar above such pursuits, and my health, impaired by excessive study, unfits me for a life of manual labour.
