~ no Vnly went on sacree-ree- -ree-n, and
up, and says, "Whatever are YOU at Pn
why" | says, "a-tryin' to get my property
out of this ere place."
He says, "What property ?n and when I
told i'm, If he didn't say as he was clad as I'd
lost 1t, as l should be sure to come to
grief with it some day, and wouldn't let
me ave It out with that surjon- de-will; and
little did think as lis words would prove trua
about that oamp-stool, as got back the next dav
and card say as the reason as they'd shet that
place up was as some of them crowned 'ead was
In there, but whyever they calls 'em crowned
'eads can't think, as ain got no more crowns
to their eads than l ave, for l see that ere
King of the Belgiums a-walkin' about with lis
good lady, and no more dressed than nobody
else, as in my opinion they did ought to be-
for IN sure to see the photygrafts of royal
families, as you see all about the place, they
amt no more like kings and queens than Mr..
and Mrs. Wileman, as was photographed with
all the children, and as plain lot as you'd set
eyes on in a days walk, as is what l calls
stuck up rubbish, bein' done like that
But as to that camp STOOL it was as near my
death as tho it ad been a field of battle itself,
as is what it's called arter, for | took it into
the Exhibishun, and was a settin' there opper-
site to lovely pcter as l wanted for to ave a
good look at and in course thro' not havin,
my eyes at the back of my ead, as | told em,
couldn't see one of them fotiles roolong as
they calls them bath-chars as parties is
wheeled all over the place in as amt got no
use in their limbs. Well, the party as were
in this one as run agin me 'ad got a
double oprer-glass a-lookin' at the picters,
and the party as were a-rolin' i'm he was
a-lookin too and if that fotile didn't ketch the
back leg of my camp-stOol with its ind wheel
and send me right over, and in fallin' give
the party in the fOtile sioh back 'ander with
umhra1lqr in / 'adOif
on, and give me a additional shove back agin
and fell with my basket under me, and mercy
as the bottle of wine in it didn't cut me to
death in breakin', as were none of your wine
gary wine but nice bottle of bone as they calls
it, thro' bein dry wine no doubt, as run all
over the place, and parties thought / was
a-bleedin to death, and if they didn't take and
carry me off a-'Olerin' for elp to what they calls
the suCoOurs for the blessed as is the medical
departments, and then quite short with me for
not bein' injured, as no doubt was a-longin'
for to operate as is their ways, and | lost the
campst0ol, as were p'raps as well, and it
might ave led to wuss thro never bein' quite
up to my weight; and of all the stains as ever
you see in my green musling as'll never come
out without a-fetchin' out the color as well.
I'm sure the 'air-breath escapes as I've ad is
wonderful and as nigh burnt to death thro'
a-fallin' back'ards on to where they was
a-layin' down that asfelt, for | was a-Walkin'
only a-thinlzin what a filthy smell it made as
did ought in course to ave been all done afore
the public was admitted, and not to be a-doin,
it with crowds about, and only bit of string
for to warn you off. Well, jest as l was
close to it, if them beasts on the camels
didn't come by, and took it into their 'eads to
turn tail, as made parties all press back, and
bein' next that bit of string as they'd only
drawed across the path, was nat'ral pressed
agin it as give way with my weight and down
sets on the 'ot asfelt not as it were bilin' as
4 must ave been my instant death, but that 'ot
as to make it unpleasant, not to say painful,
4 and stuck to it like wax.
Screams is nothink to what / uttered,
a-thinkn' as it would burn thro' and thro',
and it's mercy as l 'adn't got on my
thin musling thro' the day bein chilly and
a-blowin up for rain; but, bless you, that
back breadth of my coburg is downright
Y ruined, and I'm glad as adn't my black well
wet cape as nothink wouldn't never ave taken
that pitchey stuff out on.
We wasn't far off from the Exhibishun, in
fact pleasant walk without the sun was too
q lot, and then a downright biler.
So them young Walkers as lad come over
H only the night afore asked me If I'd go to the
Exhibishun the next morning along with them
and two or three more as they were a-goin ts
walk, and I'd said as | were agreeable, so of
MI we started, and a very nice walk we 'ad til
you gets to the end where there certingly is a
+ fine view of Paris but they've been and laid
HI the stones down as cripples you in crossin
the road to fight of the VERY wides
steps as ever l see as leads down to the Exhi
bishun, as is a reglar eyesore for to look at fo
hugliness, and a gasometer all over.
When we got to the top of them steps, i
< them young chaps didn't say as the best way
to get down them steps would be to run down
em, and says as l thought so too. If they
didn't say, "Come on" and one a one side anC
the other the other, ketched old of me unde
8. the harms and run me down, in spite of M,
'olerin'; and then, when we'd got to the bot
tom, and very nigh run slap into 'buss
as were a-passin', if they didn't stand m
out as I'd asked 'em for to take me down
as certngly did say in joke as | wished som
one would carry me, but never thought I
come down with run like that, and the kick
as got from them two chaps was hagOny.
But ere am, safe and sound, arter all, an
this will say, as any one as wants to see tn
Exhibishun lad better do as ] did, all exceI
a-talSin of ice in the Paly Royal when Ovel
r. 'eated arter dinner, and thought as | shoul
have died arter it, but / will say as they'v
always got brandy andy and at and, as is
fine medicine, and thousands owes their live
to; so never goes without it, If ever SO LITTLE
and wouldn't was it ever so. And as
your wishin to know what thinks on it, Nj
Scratchley, them's my views, tho Brown
that aggrawatin' as he'll contradict every woI
as / says, and yet don't remember nothin
isself, as l says, whatever is the use of gol
about with your eyes in your breeches pocket
like that, as wouldn't, if wore em, for it
nv pride for to notice everythink and ever,
