THE GREAT PANJANDRUM

HIMSELF

* * * * *





So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf



to make



an apple-pie;





and at the same time a great she-bear, coming down the street, pops its head into the shop.



What! no soap?



So he died,





and she very imprudently married the Barber:







and there were present the Picninnies, and the Joblillies,





and the Garyulies,





and the great Panjandrum himself, with the little round button at top;







and they all fell to playing the game of catch-as-catch-can,



till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.
