Quip and Conundrum quaint;
Cheerful and jubilant Chaff;

The Finest Cat in the World (our own) crept out on the tiles over our office; and you may judge of the humour of the Finger when we tell you that it made even her laugh! Meanwhile, about a dozen gentlemen, of various ages, but all of them extremely handsome, met together-exchanged a few hurried words-and then rushed away, exclaiming, "WE WON'T!"
