shall be Obliged To ask Miss Corinthian 10
leave her little charges and go home with
Sammy, for he lives In RoNbury and his
parents were coming In for him at Q o'clock.
Very true, Jimmy Powers, he has also
lost his cake and ice cream, which is per.
haps, as you say, the worst cf il for sammy
And now we will lose no more time, but 20
