+THE OWL AND THE PUSSY-CAT.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                    I.
+
+    The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
+      In a beautiful pea-green boat:
+    They took some honey, and plenty of money
+      Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
+    The Owl looked up to the stars above,
+      And sang to a small guitar,
+   "O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,
+        What a beautiful Pussy you are,
+          You are,
+          You are!
+      What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
+
+
+                    II.
+
+    Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl,
+      How charmingly sweet you sing!
+    Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried:
+      But what shall we do for a ring?"
+    They sailed away, for a year and a day,
+      To the land where the bong-tree grows;
+    And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,
+      With a ring at the end of his nose,
+          His nose,
+          His nose,
+      With a ring at the end of his nose.
+
+
+                    III.
+
+    "Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
+      Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
+    So they took it away, and were married next day
+      By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
+    They dined on mince and slices of quince,
+      Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
+    And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
+      They danced by the light of the moon,
+          The moon,
+          The moon,
+    They danced by the light of the moon.

+THE DUCK AND THE KANGAROO.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                    I.
+
+    Said the Duck to the Kangaroo,
+       "Good gracious! how you hop
+    Over the fields, and the water too,
+        As if you never would stop!
+    My life is a bore in this nasty pond;
+    And I long to go out in the world beyond:
+        I wish I could hop like you,"
+        Said the Duck to the Kangaroo.
+
+
+                    II.
+
+   "Please give me a ride on your back,"
+        Said the Duck to the Kangaroo:
+   "I would sit quite still, and say nothing but 'Quack'
+        The whole of the long day through;
+    And we 'd go the Dee, and the Jelly Bo Lee,
+    Over the land, and over the sea:
+        Please take me a ride! oh, do!"
+        Said the Duck to the Kangaroo.
+
+              [Illustration]
+
+
+                    III.
+
+    Said the Kangaroo to the Duck,
+       "This requires some little reflection.
+    Perhaps, on the whole, it might bring me luck;
+        And there seems but one objection;
+    Which is, if you'll let me speak so bold,
+    Your feet are unpleasantly wet and cold,
+        And would probably give me the roo-
+        Matiz," said the Kangaroo.
+
+              [Illustration]
+
+
+                    IV.
+
+    Said the Duck, "As I sate on the rocks,
+        I have thought over that completely;
+    And I bought four pairs of worsted socks,
+        Which fit my web-feet neatly;
+    And, to keep out the cold, I've bought a cloak;
+    And every day a cigar I'll smoke;
+        All to follow my own dear true
+        Love of a Kangaroo."
+
+
+                    V.
+
+    Said the Kangaroo, "I'm ready,
+        All in the moonlight pale;
+    But to balance me well, dear Duck, sit steady,
+        And quite at the end of my tail."
+    So away they went with a hop and a bound;
+    And they hopped the whole world three times round.
+        And who so happy, oh! who,
+        As the Duck and the Kangaroo?

+THE DADDY LONG-LEGS AND THE FLY.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                    I.
+
+    Once Mr. Daddy Long-legs,
+        Dressed in brown and gray,
+    Walked about upon the sands
+        Upon a summer's day:
+    And there among the pebbles,
+        When the wind was rather cold,
+    He met with Mr. Floppy Fly,
+        All dressed in blue and gold;
+    And, as it was too soon to dine,
+    They drank some periwinkle-wine,
+    And played an hour or two, or more,
+    At battlecock and shuttledore.
+
+
+                    II.
+
+    Said Mr. Daddy Long-legs
+        To Mr. Floppy Fly,
+    "Why do you never come to court?
+        I wish you 'd tell me why.
+    All gold and shine, in dress so fine,
+        You'd quite delight the court.
+    Why do you never go at all?
+        I really think you _ought_.
+    And, if you went, you'd see such sights!
+    Such rugs and jugs and candle-lights!
+    And, more than all, the king and queen,--
+    One in red, and one in green."
+
+
+                    III.
+
+    "O Mr. Daddy Long-legs!"
+        Said Mr. Floppy Fly,
+    "It's true I never go to court;
+        And I will tell you why.
+    If I had six long legs like yours,
+        At once I'd go to court;
+    But, oh! I can't, because _my_ legs
+        Are so extremely short.
+    And I'm afraid the king and queen
+    (One in red, and one in green)
+    Would say aloud, 'You are not fit,
+    You Fly, to come to court a bit!'"
+
+
+                    IV.
+
+    "Oh, Mr. Daddy Long-legs!"
+        Said Mr. Floppy Fly,
+    "I wish you 'd sing one little song,
+        One mumbian melody.
+    You used to sing so awful well
+        In former days gone by;
+    But now you never sing at all:
+        I wish you'd tell me why:
+    For, if you would, the silvery sound
+    Would please the shrimps and cockles round,
+    And all the crabs would gladly come
+    To hear you sing, 'Ah, Hum di Hum!'"
+
+
+                    V.
+
+    Said Mr. Daddy Long-legs,
+       "I can never sing again;
+    And, if you wish, I'll tell you why,
+        Although it gives me pain.
+    For years I cannot hum a bit,
+        Or sing the smallest song;
+    And this the dreadful reason is,--
+        My legs are grown too long!
+    My six long legs, all here and there,
+    Oppress my bosom with despair;
+    And, if I stand or lie or sit,
+    I cannot sing one single bit!"
+
+
+                    VI.
+
+    So Mr. Daddy Long-legs
+        And Mr. Floppy Fly
+    Sat down in silence by the sea,
+        And gazed upon the sky.
+    They said, "This is a dreadful thing!
+        The world has all gone wrong,
+    Since one has legs too short by half,
+        The other much too long.
+    One never more can go to court,
+    Because his legs have grown too short;
+    The other cannot sing a song,
+    Because his legs have grown too long!"
+
+
+                    VII.
+
+    Then Mr. Daddy Long-legs
+        And Mr. Floppy Fly
+    Rushed downward to the foamy sea
+        With one sponge-taneous cry:
+    And there they found a little boat,
+        Whose sails were pink and gray;
+    And off they sailed among the waves,
+        Far and far away:
+    They sailed across the silent main,
+    And reached the great Gromboolian Plain;
+    And there they play forevermore
+    At battlecock and shuttledore.

+
+
+
+THE JUMBLIES.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                    I.
+
+    They went to sea in a sieve, they did;
+        In a sieve they went to sea:
+    In spite of all their friends could say,
+    On a winter's morn, on a stormy day,
+        In a sieve they went to sea.
+    And when the sieve turned round and round,
+    And every one cried, "You'll all be drowned!"
+    They called aloud, "Our sieve ain't big;
+    But we don't care a button, we don't care a fig:
+        In a sieve we'll go to sea!"
+             Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+             Their heads are green, and their hands are blue
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+                     II.
+
+    They sailed away in a sieve, they did,
+        In a sieve they sailed so fast,
+    With only a beautiful pea-green veil
+    Tied with a ribbon, by way of a sail,
+        To a small tobacco-pipe mast.
+    And every one said who saw them go,
+   "Oh! won't they be soon upset, you know?
+    For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long;
+    And, happen what may, it's extremely wrong
+        In a sieve to sail so fast."
+            Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+            Their heads are green, and their hands are blue;
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+                     III.
+
+    The water it soon came in, it did;
+        The water it soon came in:
+    So, to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
+        In a pinky paper all folded neat;
+    And they fastened it down with a pin.
+    And they passed the night in a crockery-jar;
+    And each of them said, "How wise we are!
+    Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,
+    Yet we never can think we were rash or wrong,
+        While round in our sieve we spin."
+            Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+            Their heads are green, and their hands are blue;
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+    And all night long they sailed away;
+        And when the sun went down,
+    They whistled and warbled a moony song
+        To the echoing sound of a coppery gong,
+    In the shade of the mountains brown.
+   "O Timballoo! How happy we are
+    When we live in a sieve and a crockery-jar!
+    And all night long, in the moonlight pale,
+    We sail away with a pea-green sail
+        In the shade of the mountains brown."
+            Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+            Their heads are green, and their hands are blue;
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+                     V.
+
+    They sailed to the Western Sea, they did,--
+        To a land all covered with trees:
+    And they bought an owl, and a useful cart,
+        And a pound of rice, and a cranberry-tart,
+    And a hive of silvery bees;
+    And they bought a pig, and some green jackdaws,
+    And a lovely monkey with lollipop paws,
+    And forty bottles of ring-bo-ree,
+        And no end of Stilton cheese.
+            Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+            Their heads are green, and their hands are blue;
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+                     VI.
+
+    And in twenty years they all came back,--
+        In twenty years or more;
+    And every one said, "How tall they've grown!
+        For they've been to the Lakes, and the Torrible Zone,
+    And the hills of the Chankly Bore."
+    And they drank their health, and gave them a feast
+    Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast;
+    And every one said, "If we only live,
+    We, too, will go to sea in a sieve,
+        To the hills of the Chankly Bore."
+            Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+            Their heads are green, and their hands are blue;
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+
+
+THE NUTCRACKERS AND THE SUGAR-TONGS.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                     I.
+
+    The Nutcrackers sate by a plate on the table;
+        The Sugar-tongs sate by a plate at his side;
+    And the Nutcrackers said, "Don't you wish we were able
+        Along the blue hills and green meadows to ride?
+    Must we drag on this stupid existence forever,
+        So idle and weary, so full of remorse,
+    While every one else takes his pleasure, and never
+        Seems happy unless he is riding a horse?
+
+
+                     II.
+
+    "Don't you think we could ride without being instructed,
+        Without any saddle or bridle or spur?
+    Our legs are so long, and so aptly constructed,
+        I'm sure that an accident could not occur.
+    Let us all of a sudden hop down from the table,
+        And hustle downstairs, and each jump on a horse!
+    Shall we try? Shall we go? Do you think we are able?"
+        The Sugar-tongs answered distinctly, "Of course!"
+
+
+                     III.
+
+    So down the long staircase they hopped in a minute;
+        The Sugar-tongs snapped, and the Crackers said "Crack!"
+    The stable was open; the horses were in it:
+        Each took out a pony, and jumped on his back.
+    The Cat in a fright scrambled out of the doorway;
+        The Mice tumbled out of a bundle of hay;
+    The brown and white Rats, and the black ones from Norway,
+        Screamed out, "They are taking the horses away!"
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+    The whole of the household was filled with amazement:
+        The Cups and the Saucers danced madly about;
+    The Plates and the Dishes looked out of the casement;
+        The Salt-cellar stood on his head with a shout;
+    The Spoons, with a clatter, looked out of the lattice;
+        The Mustard-pot climbed up the gooseberry-pies;
+    The Soup-ladle peeped through a heap of veal-patties,
+        And squeaked with a ladle-like scream of surprise.
+
+
+                     V.
+
+    The Frying-pan said, "It's an awful delusion!"
+        The Tea-kettle hissed, and grew black in the face;
+    And they all rushed downstairs in the wildest confusion
+        To see the great Nutcracker-Sugar-tong race.
+    And out of the stable, with screamings and laughter
+        (Their ponies were cream-colored, speckled with brown),
+    The Nutcrackers first, and the Sugar-tongs after;
+        Rode all round the yard, and then all round the town.
+
+
+                     VI.
+
+    They rode through the street, and they rode by the station;
+        They galloped away to the beautiful shore;
+    In silence they rode, and "made no observation,"
+        Save this: "We will never go back any more!"
+    And still you might hear, till they rode out of hearing,
+        The Sugar-tongs snap, and the Crackers say "Crack!"
+    Till, far in the distance their forms disappearing,
+        They faded away; and they never came back!
+
+
+
+
+CALICO PIE.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                     I.
+
+      Calico pie,
+      The little birds fly
+    Down to the calico-tree:
+      Their wings were blue,
+      And they sang "Tilly-loo!"
+      Till away they flew;
+        And they never came back to me!
+          They never came back,
+          They never came back,
+        They never came back to me!
+
+
+                     II.
+
+      Calico jam,
+      The little Fish swam
+    Over the Syllabub Sea.
+      He took off his hat
+      To the Sole and the Sprat,
+      And the Willeby-wat:
+        But he never came back to me;
+          He never came back,
+          He never came back,
+        He never came back to me.
+
+               [Illustration]
+
+
+                     III.
+
+      Calico ban,
+      The little Mice ran
+    To be ready in time for tea;
+      Flippity flup,
+      They drank it all up,
+      And danced in the cup:
+        But they never came back to me;
+          They never came back,
+          They never came back,
+        They never came back to me.
+
+               [Illustration]
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+      Calico drum,
+      The Grasshoppers come,
+    The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
+      Over the ground,
+      Around and round,
+      With a hop and a bound;
+        But they never came back,
+          They never came back,
+          They never came back.
+        They never came back to me.

+MR. AND MRS. SPIKKY SPARROW.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                     I.
+
+    On a little piece of wood
+    Mr. Spikky Sparrow stood:
+    Mrs. Sparrow sate close by,
+    A-making of an insect-pie
+    For her little children five,
+    In the nest and all alive;
+    Singing with a cheerful smile,
+    To amuse them all the while,
+       "Twikky wikky wikky wee,
+        Wikky bikky twikky tee,
+            Spikky bikky bee!"
+
+
+                     II.
+
+    Mrs. Spikky Sparrow said,
+    "Spikky, darling! in my head
+    Many thoughts of trouble come,
+    Like to flies upon a plum.
+    All last night, among the trees,
+    I heard you cough, I heard you sneeze;
+    And thought I, 'It's come to that
+    Because he does not wear a hat!'
+        Chippy wippy sikky tee,
+        Bikky wikky tikky mee,
+            Spikky chippy wee!
+
+
+                     III.
+
+    "Not that you are growing old;
+    But the nights are growing cold.
+    No one stays out all night long
+    Without a hat: I'm sure it's wrong!"
+    Mr. Spikky said, "How kind,
+    Dear, you are, to speak your mind!
+    All your life I wish you luck!
+    You are, you are, a lovely duck!
+        Witchy witchy witchy wee,
+        Twitchy witchy witchy bee,
+            Tikky tikky tee!
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+    "I was also sad, and thinking,
+    When one day I saw you winking,
+    And I heard you sniffle-snuffle,
+    And I saw your feathers ruffle:
+    To myself I sadly said,
+    'She's neuralgia in her head!
+    That dear head has nothing on it!
+    Ought she not to wear a bonnet?'
+        Witchy kitchy kitchy wee,
+        Spikky wikky mikky bee,
+            Chippy wippy chee!
+
+
+                     V.
+
+    "Let us both fly up to town:
+    There I'll buy you such a gown!
+    Which, completely in the fashion,
+    You shall tie a sky-blue sash on;
+    And a pair of slippers neat
+    To fit your darling little feet,
+    So that you will look and feel
+    Quite galloobious and genteel.
+        Jikky wikky bikky see,
+        Chicky bikky wikky bee,
+            Twicky witchy wee!"
+
+
+                     VI.
+
+    So they both to London went,
+    Alighting on the Monument;
+    Whence they flew down swiftly--pop!
+    Into Moses' wholesale shop:
+    There they bought a hat and bonnet,
+    And a gown with spots upon it,
+    A satin sash of Cloxam blue,
+    And a pair of slippers too.
+        Zikky wikky mikky bee,
+        Witchy witchy mitchy kee,
+            Sikky tikky wee!
+
+
+                     VII.
+
+    Then, when so completely dressed,
+    Back they flew, and reached their nest.
+    Their children cried, "O ma and pa!
+    How truly beautiful you are!"
+    Said they, "We trust that cold or pain
+    We shall never feel again;
+    While, perched on tree or house or steeple,
+    We now shall look like other people.
+        Witchy witchy witchy wee,
+        Twikky mikky bikky bee,
+            Zikky sikky tee!"

+THE BROOM, THE SHOVEL, THE POKER, AND THE TONGS.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                     I.
+
+    The Broom and the Shovel, the Poker and Tongs,
+      They all took a drive in the Park;
+    And they each sang a song, ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!
+      Before they went back in the dark.
+    Mr. Poker he sate quite upright in the coach;
+      Mr. Tongs made a clatter and clash;
+    Miss Shovel was dressed all in black (with a brooch);
+      Mrs. Broom was in blue (with a sash).
+        Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!
+        And they all sang a song.
+
+
+                     II.
+
+   "O Shovely so lovely!" the Poker he sang,
+     "You have perfectly conquered my heart.
+    Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong! If you're pleased with my song,
+      I will feed you with cold apple-tart.
+    When you scrape up the coals with a delicate sound,
+      You enrapture my life with delight,
+    Your nose is so shiny, your head is so round,
+      And your shape is so slender and bright!
+        Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!
+        Ain't you pleased with my song?"
+
+
+                     III.
+
+   "Alas! Mrs. Broom," sighed the Tongs in his song,
+     "Oh! is it because I'm so thin,
+    And my legs are so long,--ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!--
+      That you don't care about me a pin?
+    Ah! fairest of creatures, when sweeping the room,
+      Ah! why don't you heed my complaint?
+    Must you needs be so cruel, you beautiful Broom,
+      Because you are covered with paint?
+        Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!
+        You are certainly wrong."
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+    Mrs. Broom and Miss Shovel together they sang,
+     "What nonsense you're singing to-day!"
+    Said the Shovel, "I'll certainly hit you a bang!"
+      Said the Broom, "And I'll sweep you away!"
+    So the coachman drove homeward as fast as he could,
+      Perceiving their anger with pain;
+    But they put on the kettle, and little by little
+      They all became happy again.
+        Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!
+        There's an end of my song.

+
+THE TABLE AND THE CHAIR.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                     I.
+
+    Said the Table to the Chair,
+    "You can hardly be aware
+    How I suffer from the heat
+    And from chilblains on my feet.
+    If we took a little walk,
+    We might have a little talk;
+    Pray let us take the air,"
+    Said the Table to the Chair.
+
+
+                     II.
+
+    Said the Chair unto the Table,
+    "Now, you _know_ we are not able:
+    How foolishly you talk,
+    When you know we _cannot_ walk!"
+    Said the Table with a sigh,
+    "It can do no harm to try.
+    I've as many legs as you:
+    Why can't we walk on two?"
+
+
+                     III.
+
+    So they both went slowly down,
+    And walked about the town
+    With a cheerful bumpy sound
+    As they toddled round and round;
+    And everybody cried,
+    As they hastened to their side,
+    "See! the Table and the Chair
+    Have come out to take the air!"
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+    But in going down an alley,
+    To a castle in a valley,
+    They completely lost their way,
+    And wandered all the day;
+    Till, to see them safely back,
+    They paid a Ducky-quack,
+    And a Beetle, and a Mouse,
+    Who took them to their house.
+
+              [Illustration]
+
+
+                     V.
+
+    Then they whispered to each other,
+    "O delightful little brother,
+    What a lovely walk we've taken!
+    Let us dine on beans and bacon."
+    So the Ducky and the leetle
+    Browny-Mousy and the Beetle
+    Dined, and danced upon their heads
+    Till they toddled to their beds.

+
+NONSENSE STORIES.
+
+
+THE STORY OF THE FOUR LITTLE CHILDREN WHO WENT ROUND THE WORLD.
+
+Once upon a time, a long while ago, there were four little people whose
+names were
+
+[Illustration]
+
+VIOLET, SLINGSBY, GUY, and LIONEL;
+and they all thought they should like to see the world. So they bought a
+large boat to sail quite round the world by sea, and then they were to come
+back on the other side by land. The boat was painted blue with green spots,
+and the sail was yellow with red stripes: and, when they set off, they only
+took a small Cat to steer and look after the boat, besides an elderly
+Quangle-Wangle, who had to cook the dinner and make the tea; for which
+purposes they took a large kettle.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+For the first ten days they sailed on beautifully, and found plenty to eat,
+as there were lots of fish; and they had only to take them out of the sea
+with a long spoon, when the Quangle-Wangle instantly cooked them; and the
+Pussy-Cat was fed with the bones, with which she expressed herself pleased,
+on the whole: so that all the party were very happy.
+
+During the daytime, Violet chiefly occupied herself in putting salt water
+into a churn; while her three brothers churned it violently, in the hope
+that it would turn into butter, which it seldom if ever did; and in the
+evening they all retired into the tea-kettle, where they all managed to
+sleep very comfortably, while Pussy and the Quangle-Wangle managed the
+boat.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After a time, they saw some land at a distance; and, when they came to it,
+they found it was an island made of water quite surrounded by earth.
+Besides that, it was bordered by evanescent isthmuses, with a great
+gulf-stream running about all over it; so that it was perfectly beautiful,
+and contained only a single tree, 503 feet high.
+
+When they had landed, they walked about, but found, to their great
+surprise, that the island was quite full of veal-cutlets and
+chocolate-drops, and nothing else. So they all climbed up the single high
+tree to discover, if possible, if there were any people; but having
+remained on the top of the tree for a week, and not seeing anybody, they
+naturally concluded that there were no inhabitants; and accordingly, when
+they came down, they loaded the boat with two thousand veal-cutlets and a
+million of chocolate-drops; and these afforded them sustenance for more
+than a month, during which time they pursued their voyage with the utmost
+delight and apathy.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After this they came to a shore where there were no less than sixty-five
+great red parrots with blue tails, sitting on a rail all of a row, and all
+fast asleep. And I am sorry to say that the Pussy-Cat and the
+Quangle-Wangle crept softly, and bit off the tail-feathers of all the
+sixty-five parrots; for which Violet reproved them both severely.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Notwithstanding which, she proceeded to insert all the feathers--two
+hundred and sixty in number--in her bonnet; thereby causing it to have a
+lovely and glittering appearance, highly prepossessing and efficacious.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The next thing that happened to them was in a narrow part of the sea, which
+was so entirely full of fishes that the boat could go on no farther: so
+they remained there about six weeks, till they had eaten nearly all the
+fishes, which were soles, and all ready-cooked, and covered with
+shrimp-sauce, so that there was no trouble whatever. And as the few fishes
+who remained uneaten complained of the cold, as well as of the difficulty
+they had in getting any sleep on account of the extreme noise made by the
+arctic bears and the tropical turnspits, which frequented the neighborhood
+in great numbers, Violet most amiably knitted a small woollen frock for
+several of the fishes, and Slingsby administered some opium-drops to them;
+through which kindness they became quite warm, and slept soundly.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Then they came to a country which was wholly covered with immense
+orange-trees of a vast size, and quite full of fruit. So they all landed,
+taking with them the tea-kettle, intending to gather some of the oranges,
+and place them in it. But, while they were busy about this, a most
+dreadfully high wind rose, and blew out most of the parrot-tail feathers
+from Violet's bonnet. That, however, was nothing compared with the calamity
+of the oranges falling down on their heads by millions and millions, which
+thumped and bumped and bumped and thumped them all so seriously, that they
+were obliged to run as hard as they could for their lives; besides that the
+sound of the oranges rattling on the tea-kettle was of the most fearful and
+amazing nature.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Nevertheless, they got safely to the boat, although considerably vexed and
+hurt; and the Quangle-Wangle's right foot was so knocked about, that he had
+to sit with his head in his slipper for at least a week.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+This event made them all for a time rather melancholy: and perhaps they
+might never have become less so, had not Lionel, with a most praiseworthy
+devotion and perseverance, continued to stand on one leg, and whistle to
+them in a loud and lively manner; which diverted the whole party so
+extremely that they gradually recovered their spirits, and agreed that
+whenever they should reach home, they would subscribe towards a testimonial
+to Lionel, entirely made of gingerbread and raspberries, as an earnest
+token of their sincere and grateful infection.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After sailing on calmly for several more days, they came to another
+country, where they were much pleased and surprised to see a countless
+multitude of white Mice with red eyes, all sitting in a great circle,
+slowly eating custard-pudding with the most satisfactory and polite
+demeanor.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+And as the four travellers were rather hungry, being tired of eating
+nothing but soles and oranges for so long a period, they held a council as
+to the propriety of asking the Mice for some of their pudding in a humble
+and affecting manner, by which they could hardly be otherwise than
+gratified. It was agreed, therefore, that Guy should go and ask the Mice,
+which he immediately did; and the result was, that they gave a walnut-shell
+only half full of custard diluted with water. Now, this displeased Guy, who
+said, "Out of such a lot of pudding as you have got, I must say, you might
+have spared a somewhat larger quantity." But no sooner had he finished
+speaking than the Mice turned round at once, and sneezed at him in an
+appalling and vindictive manner (and it is impossible to imagine a more
+scroobious and unpleasant sound than that caused by the simultaneous
+sneezing of many millions of angry Mice); so that Guy rushed back to the
+boat, having first shied his cap into the middle of the custard-pudding, by
+which means he completely spoiled the Mice's dinner.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+By and by the four children came to a country where there were no houses,
+but only an incredibly innumerable number of large bottles without corks,
+and of a dazzling and sweetly susceptible blue color. Each of these blue
+bottles contained a Blue-Bottle-Fly; and all these interesting animals live
+continually together in the most copious and rural harmony: nor perhaps in
+many parts of the world is such perfect and abject happiness to be found.
+Violet and Slingsby and Guy and Lionel were greatly struck with this
+singular and instructive settlement; and, having previously asked
+permission of the Blue-Bottle-Flies (which was most courteously granted),
+the boat was drawn up to the shore, and they proceeded to make tea in front
+of the bottles: but as they had no tea-leaves, they merely placed some
+pebbles in the hot water; and the Quangle-Wangle played some tunes over it
+on an accordion, by which, of course, tea was made directly, and of the
+very best quality.
+
+The four children then entered into conversation with the
+Blue-Bottle-Flies, who discoursed in a placid and genteel manner, though
+with a slightly buzzing accent, chiefly owing to the fact that they each
+held a small clothes-brush between their teeth, which naturally occasioned
+a fizzy, extraneous utterance.
+
+"Why," said Violet, "would you kindly inform us, do you reside in bottles;
+and, if in bottles at all, why not, rather, in green or purple, or, indeed,
+in yellow bottles?"
+
+To which questions a very aged Blue-Bottle-Fly answered, "We found the
+bottles here all ready to live in; that is to say, our great-great-great-
+great-great-grandfathers did: so we occupied them at once. And, when the
+winter comes on, we turn the bottles upside down, and consequently rarely
+feel the cold at all; and you know very well that this could not be the
+case with bottles of any other color than blue."
+
+"Of course it could not," said Slingsby. "But, if we may take the liberty
+of inquiring, on what do you chiefly subsist?"
+
+"Mainly on oyster-patties," said the Blue-Bottle-Fly; "and, when these are
+scarce, on raspberry vinegar and Russian leather boiled down to a jelly."
+
+"How delicious!" said Guy.
+
+To which Lionel added, "Huzz!" And all the Blue-Bottle-Flies said, "Buzz!"
+
+At this time, an elderly Fly said it was the hour for the evening-song to
+be sung; and, on a signal being given, all the Blue-Bottle-Flies began to
+buzz at once in a sumptuous and sonorous manner, the melodious and
+mucilaginous sounds echoing all over the waters, and resounding across the
+tumultuous tops of the transitory titmice upon the intervening and verdant
+mountains with a serene and sickly suavity only known to the truly
+virtuous. The Moon was shining slobaciously from the star-bespangled sky,
+while her light irrigated the smooth and shiny sides and wings and backs of
+the Blue-Bottle-Flies with a peculiar and trivial splendor, while all
+Nature cheerfully responded to the cerulean and conspicuous circumstances.
+
+In many long-after years, the four little travellers looked back to that
+evening as one of the happiest in all their lives; and it was already past
+midnight when--the sail of the boat having been set up by the
+Quangle-Wangle, the tea-kettle and churn placed in their respective
+positions, and the Pussy-Cat stationed at the helm--the children each took
+a last and affectionate farewell of the Blue-Bottle-Flies, who walked down
+in a body to the water's edge to see the travellers embark.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+As a token of parting respect and esteem, Violet made a courtesy quite down
+to the ground, and stuck one of her few remaining parrot-tail feathers into
+the back hair of the most pleasing of the Blue-Bottle-Flies; while
+Slingsby, Guy, and Lionel offered them three small boxes, containing,
+respectively, black pins, dried figs, and Epsom salts; and thus they left
+that happy shore forever.
+
+Overcome by their feelings, the four little travellers instantly jumped
+into the tea-kettle, and fell fast asleep. But all along the shore, for
+many hours, there was distinctly heard a sound of severely-suppressed sobs,
+and of a vague multitude of living creatures using their
+pocket-handkerchiefs in a subdued simultaneous snuffle, lingering sadly
+along the walloping waves as the boat sailed farther and farther away from
+the Land of the Happy Blue-Bottle-Flies.
+
+Nothing particular occurred for some days after these events, except that,
+as the travellers were passing a low tract of sand, they perceived an
+unusual and gratifying spectacle; namely, a large number of Crabs and
+Crawfish--perhaps six or seven hundred--sitting by the water-side, and
+endeavoring to disentangle a vast heap of pale pink worsted, which they
+moistened at intervals with a fluid composed of lavender-water and
+white-wine negus.
+
+"Can we be of any service to you, O crusty Crabbies?" said the four
+children.
+
+"Thank you kindly," said the Crabs consecutively. "We are trying to make
+some worsted mittens, but do not know how."
+
+On which Violet, who was perfectly acquainted with the art of
+mitten-making, said to the Crabs, "Do your claws unscrew, or are they
+fixtures?"
+
+"They are all made to unscrew," said the Crabs; and forthwith they
+deposited a great pile of claws close to the boat, with which Violet
+uncombed all the pale pink worsted, and then made the loveliest mittens
+with it you can imagine. These the Crabs, having resumed and screwed on
+their claws, placed cheerfully upon their wrists, and walked away rapidly
+on their hind-legs, warbling songs with a silvery voice and in a minor key.
+
+After this, the four little people sailed on again till they came to a vast
+and wide plain of astonishing dimensions, on which nothing whatever could
+be discovered at first; but, as the travellers walked onward, there
+appeared in the extreme and dim distance a single object, which on a nearer
+approach, and on an accurately cutaneous inspection, seemed to be somebody
+in a large white wig, sitting on an arm-chair made of sponge-cakes and
+oyster-shells. "It does not quite look like a human being," said Violet
+doubtfully; nor could they make out what it really was, till the
+Quangle-Wangle (who had previously been round the world) exclaimed softly
+in a loud voice, "It is the co-operative Cauliflower!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+And so, in truth, it was: and they soon found that what they had taken for
+an immense wig was in reality the top of the Cauliflower; and that he had
+no feet at all, being able to walk tolerably well with a fluctuating and
+graceful movement on a single cabbage-stalk,--an accomplishment which
+naturally saved him the expense of stockings and shoes.
+
+Presently, while the whole party from the boat was gazing at him with
+mingled affection and disgust, he suddenly arose, and, in a somewhat
+plumdomphious manner, hurried off towards the setting sun,--his steps
+supported by two superincumbent confidential Cucumbers, and a large number
+of Waterwagtails proceeding in advance of him by three and three in a
+row,--till he finally disappeared on the brink of the western sky in a
+crystal cloud of sudorific sand.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+So remarkable a sight, of course, impressed the four children very deeply;
+and they returned immediately to their boat with a strong sense of
+undeveloped asthma and a great appetite.
+
+Shortly after this, the travellers were obliged to sail directly below some
+high overhanging rocks, from the top of one of which a particularly odious
+little boy, dressed in rose-colored knickerbockers, and with a pewter plate
+upon his head, threw an enormous pumpkin at the boat, by which it was
+instantly upset.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+But this upsetting was of no consequence, because all the party knew how to
+swim very well: and, in fact, they preferred swimming about till after the
+moon rose; when, the water growing chilly, they sponge-taneously entered
+the boat. Meanwhile the Quangle-Wangle threw back the pumpkin with immense
+force, so that it hit the rocks where the malicious little boy in
+rose-colored knickerbockers was sitting; when, being quite full of
+lucifer-matches, the pumpkin exploded surreptitiously into a thousand bits;
+whereon the rocks instantly took fire, and the odious little boy became
+unpleasantly hotter and hotter and hotter, till his knickerbockers were
+turned quite green, and his nose was burnt off.
+
+Two or three days after this had happened, they came to another place,
+where they found nothing at all except some wide and deep pits full of
+mulberry-jam. This is the property of the tiny, yellow-nosed Apes who
+abound in these districts, and who store up the mulberry-jam for their food
+in winter, when they mix it with pellucid pale periwinkle-soup, and serve
+it out in wedgewood china-bowls, which grow freely all over that part of
+the country. Only one of the yellow-nosed Apes was on the spot, and he was
+fast asleep; yet the four travellers and the Quangle-Wangle and Pussy were
+so terrified by the violence and sanguinary sound of his snoring, that they
+merely took a small cupful of the jam, and returned to re-embark in their
+boat without delay.
+
+What was their horror on seeing the boat (including the churn and the
+tea-kettle) in the mouth of an enormous Seeze Pyder, an aquatic and
+ferocious creature truly dreadful to behold, and, happily, only met with in
+those excessive longitudes! In a moment, the beautiful boat was bitten into
+fifty-five thousand million hundred billion bits; and it instantly became
+quite clear that Violet, Slingsby, Guy, and Lionel could no longer
+preliminate their voyage by sea.
+
+The four travellers were therefore obliged to resolve on pursuing their
+wanderings by land: and, very fortunately, there happened to pass by at
+that moment an elderly Rhinoceros, on which they seized; and, all four
+mounting on his back,--the Quangle-Wangle sitting on his horn, and holding
+on by his ears, and the Pussy-Cat swinging at the end of his tail,--they
+set off, having only four small beans and three pounds of mashed potatoes
+to last through their whole journey.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+They were, however, able to catch numbers of the chickens and turkeys and
+other birds who incessantly alighted on the head of the Rhinoceros for the
+purpose of gathering the seeds of the rhododendron-plants which grew
+there; and these creatures they cooked in the most translucent and
+satisfactory manner by means of a fire lighted on the end of the
+Rhinoceros's back. A crowd of Kangaroos and gigantic Cranes accompanied
+them, from feelings of curiosity and complacency; so that they were never
+at a loss for company, and went onward, as it were, in a sort of profuse
+and triumphant procession.
+
+Thus in less than eighteen weeks they all arrived safely at home, where
+they were received by their admiring relatives with joy tempered with
+contempt, and where they finally resolved to carry out the rest of their
+travelling-plans at some more favorable opportunity.
+
+As for the Rhinoceros, in token of their grateful adherence, they had him
+killed and stuffed directly, and then set him up outside the door of their
+father's house as a diaphanous doorscraper.

+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN FAMILIES OF
+THE LAKE PIPPLE-POPPLE.
+
+
+CHAPTER I.
+
+INTRODUCTORY.
+
+In former days,--that is to say, once upon a time,--there lived in the Land
+of Gramble-Blamble seven families. They lived by the side of the great Lake
+Pipple-Popple (one of the seven families, indeed, lived _in_ the lake), and
+on the outskirts of the city of Tosh, which, excepting when it was quite
+dark, they could see plainly. The names of all these places you have
+probably heard of; and you have only not to look in your geography-books to
+find out all about them.
+
+Now, the seven families who lived on the borders of the great Lake
+Pipple-Popple were as follows in the next chapter.
+

+CHAPTER III.
+
+THE HABITS OF THE SEVEN FAMILIES.
+
+The Parrots lived upon the Soffsky-Poffsky trees, which were beautiful to
+behold, and covered with blue leaves; and they fed upon fruit, artichokes,
+and striped beetles.
+
+The Storks walked in and out of the Lake Pipple-Popple, and ate frogs for
+breakfast, and buttered toast for tea; but on account of the extreme length
+of their legs they could not sit down, and so they walked about
+continually.
+
+The Geese, having webs to their feet, caught quantities of flies, which
+they ate for dinner.
+
+The Owls anxiously looked after mice, which they caught, and made into
+sago-puddings.
+
+The Guinea Pigs toddled about the gardens, and ate lettuces and Cheshire
+cheese.
+
+The Cats sate still in the sunshine, and fed upon sponge biscuits.
+
+The Fishes lived in the lake, and fed chiefly on boiled periwinkles.
+
+And all these seven families lived together in the utmost fun and felicity.
+
+
+CHAPTER IV.
+
+THE CHILDREN OF THE SEVEN FAMILIES ARE SENT AWAY.
+
+One day all the seven fathers and the seven mothers of the seven families
+agreed that they would send their children out to see the world.
+
+So they called them all together, and gave them each eight shillings and
+some good advice, some chocolate-drops, and a small green morocco
+pocket-book to set down their expenses in.
+
+They then particularly entreated them not to quarrel; and all the parents
+sent off their children with a parting injunction.
+
+"If," said the old Parrots, "you find a cherry, do not fight about who
+should have it."
+
+"And," said the old Storks, "if you find a frog, divide it carefully into
+seven bits, but on no account quarrel about it."
+
+And the old Geese said to the seven young Geese, "Whatever you do, be sure
+you do not touch a plum-pudding flea."
+
+And the old Owls said, "If you find a mouse, tear him up into seven slices,
+and eat him cheerfully, but without quarrelling."
+
+And the old Guinea Pigs said, "Have a care that you eat your lettuces,
+should you find any, not greedily, but calmly."
+
+And the old Cats said, "Be particularly careful not to meddle with a
+clangle-wangle if you should see one."
+
+And the old Fishes said, "Above all things, avoid eating a blue boss-woss;
+for they do not agree with fishes, and give them a pain in their toes."
+
+So all the children of each family thanked their parents; and, making in
+all forty-nine polite bows, they went into the wide world.
+
+
+
+CHAPTER V.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG PARROTS.
+
+The seven young Parrots had not gone far, when they saw a tree with a
+single cherry on it, which the oldest Parrot picked instantly; but the
+other six, being extremely hungry, tried to get it also. On which all the
+seven began to fight; and they
+scuffled,
+     and huffled,
+       and ruffled,
+         and shuffled,
+           and puffled,
+             and muffled,
+               and buffled,
+                 and duffled,
+                   and fluffled,
+                     and guffled,
+                       and bruffled,
+                         and screamed, and shrieked, and squealed,
+and squeaked, and clawed, and snapped, and bit, and bumped, and thumped,
+and dumped, and flumped each other, till they were all torn into little
+bits; and at last there was nothing left to record this painful incident
+except the cherry and seven small green feathers.
+
+And that was the vicious and voluble end of the seven young Parrots.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER VI.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG STORKS.
+
+When the seven young Storks set out, they walked or flew for fourteen weeks
+in a straight line, and for six weeks more in a crooked one; and after that
+they ran as hard as they could for one hundred and eight miles; and after
+that they stood still, and made a himmeltanious chatter-clatter-blattery
+noise with their bills.
+
+About the same time they perceived a large frog, spotted with green, and
+with a sky-blue stripe under each ear.
+
+So, being hungry, they immediately flew at him, and were going to divide
+him into seven pieces, when they began to quarrel as to which of his legs
+should be taken off first. One said this, and another said that; and while
+they were all quarrelling, the frog hopped away. And when they saw that he
+was gone, they began to
+  chatter-clatter,
+      blatter-platter,
+          patter-blatter,
+              matter-clatter,
+                  flatter-quatter,
+more violently than ever; and after they
+had fought for a week, they pecked each other all to little pieces, so that
+at last nothing was left of any of them except their bills.
+
+And that was the end of the seven young Storks.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER VII.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG GEESE.
+
+When the seven young Geese began to travel, they went over a large plain,
+on which there was but one tree, and that was, a very bad one.
+
+So four of them went up to the top of it, and looked about them; while the
+other three waddled up and down, and repeated poetry, and their last six
+lessons in arithmetic, geography, and cookery.
+
+Presently they perceived, a long way off, an object of the most interesting
+and obese appearance, having a perfectly round body exactly resembling a
+boiled plum-pudding, with two little wings, and a beak, and three feathers
+growing out of his head, and only one leg.
+
+So, after a time, all the seven young Geese said to each other, "Beyond all
+doubt this beast must be a Plum-pudding Flea!"
+
+On which they incautiously began to sing aloud,
+
+       "Plum-pudding Flea,
+        Plum-pudding Flea,
+        Wherever you be,
+        Oh! come to our tree,
+    And listen, oh! listen, oh! listen to me!"
+
+And no sooner had they sung this verse than the Plum-pudding Flea began to
+hop and skip on his one leg with the most dreadful velocity, and came
+straight to the tree, where he stopped, and looked about him in a vacant
+and voluminous manner.
+
+On which the seven young Geese were greatly alarmed, and all of a
+tremble-bemble: so one of them put out his long neck, and just touched him
+with the tip of his bill; but no sooner had he done this than the
+Plum-pudding Flea skipped and hopped about more and more, and higher and
+higher; after which he opened his mouth, and, to the great surprise and
+indignation of the seven Geese, began to bark so loudly and furiously and
+terribly, that they were totally unable to bear the noise; and by degrees
+every one of them suddenly tumbled down quite dead.
+
+So that was the end of the seven young Geese.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER VIII.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG OWLS.
+
+When the seven young Owls set out, they sate every now and then on the
+branches of old trees, and never went far at one time.
+
+And one night, when it was quite dark, they thought they heard a mouse;
+but, as the gas-lamps were not lighted, they could not see him.
+
+So they called out, "Is that a mouse?"
+
+On which a mouse answered, "Squeaky-peeky-weeky! yes, it is!"
+
+And immediately all the young Owls threw themselves off the tree, meaning
+to alight on the ground; but they did not perceive that there was a large
+well below them, into which they all fell superficially, and were every one
+of them drowned in less than half a minute.
+
+So that was the end of the seven young Owls.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER IX.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG GUINEA PIGS.
+
+The seven young Guinea Pigs went into a garden full of goose-berry-bushes
+and tiggory-trees, under one of which they fell asleep. When they awoke,
+they saw a large lettuce, which had grown out of the ground while they had
+been sleeping, and which had an immense number of green leaves. At which
+they all exclaimed,--
+
+   "Lettuce! O lettuce
+    Let us, O let us,
+    O lettuce-leaves,
+    O let us leave this tree, and eat
+    Lettuce, O let us, lettuce-leaves!"
+
+And instantly the seven young Guinea Pigs rushed with such extreme force
+against the lettuce-plant, and hit their heads so vividly against its
+stalk, that the concussion brought on directly an incipient transitional
+inflammation of their noses, which grew worse and worse and worse and
+worse, till it incidentally killed them all seven.
+
+And that was the end of the seven young Guinea Pigs.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER X.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG CATS.
+
+The seven young Cats set off on their travels with great delight and
+rapacity. But, on coming to the top of a high hill, they perceived at a
+long distance off a Clangle-Wangle (or, as it is more properly written,
+Clangel-Wangel); and, in spite of the warning they had had, they ran
+straight up to it.
+
+(Now, the Clangle-Wangle is a most dangerous and delusive beast, and by no
+means commonly to be met with. They live in the water as well as on land,
+using their long tail as a sail when in the former element. Their speed is
+extreme; but their habits of life are domestic and superfluous, and their
+general demeanor pensive and pellucid. On summer evenings, they may
+sometimes be observed near the Lake Pipple-Popple, standing on their heads,
+and humming their national melodies. They subsist entirely on vegetables,
+excepting when they eat veal or mutton or pork or beef or fish or
+saltpetre.)
+
+The moment the Clangle-Wangle saw the seven young Cats approach, he ran
+away; and as he ran straight on for four months, and the Cats, though they
+continued to run, could never overtake him, they all gradually _died_ of
+fatigue and exhaustion, and never afterwards recovered.
+
+And this was the end of the seven young Cats.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER XI.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG FISHES.
+
+The seven young Fishes swam across the Lake Pipple-Popple, and into the
+river, and into the ocean; where, most unhappily for them, they saw, on the
+fifteenth day of their travels, a bright-blue Boss-Woss, and instantly swam
+after him. But the Blue Boss-Woss plunged into a
+    perpendicular,
+        spicular,
+            orbicular,
+                quadrangular,
+                     circular depth of soft mud;
+where, in fact, his house was.
+
+And the seven young Fishes, swimming with great and uncomfortable velocity,
+plunged also into the mud quite against their will, and, not being
+accustomed to it, were all suffocated in a very short period.
+
+And that was the end of the seven young Fishes.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER XII.
+
+OF WHAT OCCURRED SUBSEQUENTLY.
+
+After it was known that the
+
+            seven young Parrots,
+    and the seven young Storks,
+    and the seven young Geese,
+    and the seven young Owls,
+    and the seven young Guinea Pigs,
+    and the seven young Cats,
+    and the seven young Fishes,
+
+were all dead, then the Frog, and the Plum-pudding Flea, and the Mouse, and
+the Clangle-Wangle, and the Blue Boss-Woss, all met together to rejoice
+over their good fortune. And they collected the seven feathers of the seven
+young Parrots, and the seven bills of the seven young Storks, and the
+lettuce, and the cherry; and having placed the latter on the lettuce, and
+the other objects in a circular arrangement at their base, they danced a
+hornpipe round all these memorials until they were quite tired; after which
+they gave a tea-party, and a garden-party, and a ball, and a concert, and
+then returned to their respective homes full of joy and respect, sympathy,
+satisfaction, and disgust.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER XIII.
+
+OF WHAT BECAME OF THE PARENTS OF THE FORTY-NINE CHILDREN.
+
+BUT when the two old Parrots,
+     and the two old Storks,
+     and the two old Geese,
+     and the two old Owls,
+     and the two old Guinea Pigs,
+     and the two old Cats,
+     and the two old Fishes,
+
+became aware, by reading in the newspapers, of the calamitous extinction of
+the whole of their families, they refused all further sustenance; and,
+sending out to various shops, they purchased great quantities of Cayenne
+pepper and brandy and vinegar and blue sealing-wax, besides seven immense
+glass bottles with air-tight stoppers. And, having done this, they ate a
+light supper of brown-bread and Jerusalem artichokes, and took an
+affecting and formal leave of the whole of their acquaintance, which was
+very numerous and distinguished and select and responsible and ridiculous.
+
+
+CHAPTER XIV.
+
+CONCLUSION.
+
+And after this they filled the bottles with the ingredients for pickling,
+and each couple jumped into a separate bottle; by which effort, of course,
+they all died immediately, and became thoroughly pickled in a few minutes;
+having previously made their wills (by the assistance of the most eminent
+lawyers of the district), in which they left strict orders that the
+stoppers of the seven bottles should be carefully sealed up with the blue
+sealing-wax they had purchased; and that they themselves, in the bottles,
+should be presented to the principal museum of the city of Tosh, to be
+labelled with parchment or any other anti-congenial succedaneum, and to be
+placed on a marble table with silver-gilt legs, for the daily inspection
+and contemplation, and for the perpetual benefit, of the pusillanimous
+public.
+
+And if you ever happen to go to Gramble-Blamble, and visit that museum in
+the city of Tosh, look for them on the ninety-eighth table in the four
+hundred and twenty-seventh room of the right-hand corridor of the left wing
+of the central quadrangle of that magnificent building; for, if you do not,
+you certainly will not see them.

+
+                 NONSENSE COOKERY.
+
+Extract from "The Nonsense Gazette," for August, 1870.
+
+"Our readers will be interested in the following communications from our
+valued and learned contributor, Prof. Bosh, whose labors in the fields of
+culinary and botanical science are so well known to all the world. The
+first three articles richly merit to be added to the domestic cookery of
+every family: those which follow claim the attention of all botanists; and
+we are happy to be able, through Dr. Bosh's kindness, to present our
+readers with illustrations of his discoveries. All the new flowers are
+found in the Valley of Verrikwier, near the Lake of Oddgrow, and on the
+summit of the Hill Orfeltugg."
+
+
+
+THREE RECEIPTS FOR DOMESTIC COOKERY.
+
+
+TO MAKE AN AMBLONGUS PIE.
+
+Take 4 pounds (say 4-1/2 pounds) of fresh Amblongusses, and put them in a
+small pipkin.
+
+Cover them with water, and boil them for 8 hours incessantly; after which
+add 2 pints of new milk, and proceed to boil for 4 hours more.
+
+When you have ascertained that the Amblongusses are quite soft, take them
+out, and place them in a wide pan, taking care to shake them well
+previously.
+
+Grate some nutmeg over the surface, and cover them carefully with powdered
+gingerbread, curry-powder, and a sufficient quantity of Cayenne pepper.
+
+Remove the pan into the next room, and place it on the floor. Bring it back
+again, and let it simmer for three-quarters of an hour. Shake the pan
+violently till all the Amblongusses have become of a pale purple color.
+
+Then, having prepared the paste, insert the whole carefully; adding at the
+same time a small pigeon, 2 slices of beef, 4 cauliflowers, and any number
+of oysters.
+
+Watch patiently till the crust begins to rise, and add a pinch of salt from
+time to time.
+
+Serve up in a clean dish, and throw the whole out of window as fast as
+possible.
+
+
+TO MAKE CRUMBOBBLIOUS CUTLETS.
+
+Procure some strips of beef, and, having cut them into the smallest
+possible slices, proceed to cut them still smaller,--eight, or perhaps
+nine times.
+
+When the whole is thus minced, brush it up hastily with a new
+clothes-brush, and stir round rapidly and capriciously with a salt-spoon
+or a soup-ladle.
+
+Place the whole in a saucepan, and remove it to a sunny place,--say the
+roof of the house, if free from sparrows or other birds,--and leave it
+there for about a week.
+
+At the end of that time add a little lavender, some oil of almonds, and a
+few herring-bones; and then cover the whole with 4 gallons of clarified
+Crumbobblious sauce, when it will be ready for use.
+
+Cut it into the shape of ordinary cutlets, and serve up in a clean
+table-cloth or dinner-napkin.
+
+
+TO MAKE GOSKY PATTIES.
+
+Take a pig three or four years of age, and tie him by the off hind-leg to a
+post. Place 5 pounds of currants, 3 of sugar, 2 pecks of peas, 18 roast
+chestnuts, a candle, and 6 bushels of turnips, within his reach: if he eats
+these, constantly provide him with more.
+
+Then procure some cream, some slices of Cheshire cheese, 4 quires of
+foolscap paper, and a packet of black pins. Work the whole into a paste,
+and spread it out to dry on a sheet of clean brown waterproof linen.
+
+When the paste is perfectly dry, but not before, proceed to beat the pig
+violently with the handle of a large broom. If he squeals, beat him again.
+
+Visit the paste and beat the pig alternately for some days, and ascertain
+if, at the end of that period, the whole is about to turn into Gosky
+Patties.
+
+If it does not then, it never will; and in that case the pig may be let
+loose, and the whole process may be considered as finished.

+				<span class="i2">Wrapped up in a five-pound note.</span>
+				The Owl looked up to the stars above,<br />
+				<span class="i2">And sang to a small guitar,</span>

+				Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried:<br />
+				<span class="i2">But what shall we do for a ring?"</span>
+				They sailed away, for a year and a day,<br />
+				<span class="i2">To the land where the bong-tree grows;</span>
+				And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,<br />
+				<span class="i2">With a ring at the end of his nose,</span>
+				<span class="i6">His nose,</span>
+				<span class="i6">His nose,</span>

+				"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling<br />

+				<span class="i2">"This requires some little reflection.</span>
+				Perhaps, on the whole, it might bring me luck;<br />
+				<span class="i2">And there seems but one objection;</span>
+				Which is, if you'll let me speak so bold,<br />
+				Your feet are unpleasantly wet and cold,<br />
+				<span class="i2">And would probably give me the roo-</span>

+				<span class="i2">I have thought over that completely;</span>
+				And I bought four pairs of worsted socks,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Which fit my web-feet neatly;</span>
+				And, to keep out the cold, I've bought a cloak;<br />
+				And every day a cigar I'll smoke;<br />

+				<span class="i2">Dressed in brown and gray,</span>
+				Walked about upon the sands<br />
+				<span class="i2">Upon a summer's day:</span>
+				And there among the pebbles,<br />
+				<span class="i2">When the wind was rather cold,</span>
+				He met with Mr. Floppy Fly,<br />
+				<span class="i2">All dressed in blue and gold;</span>
+				And, as it was too soon to dine,<br />
+				They drank some periwinkle-wine,<br />
+				And played an hour or two, or more,<br />
+				At battlecock and shuttledore.<br />
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page097" id="page097" title="097"></a>
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">II.</p>
+				<p>

+				<span class="i4">To Mr. Floppy Fly,</span>

+				<span class="i4">I wish you 'd tell me why.</span>
+				All gold and shine, in dress so fine,<br />
+				<span class="i4">You'd quite delight the court.</span>
+				Why do you never go at all?<br />
+				<span class="i4">I really think you <i>ought</i>.</span>
+				And, if you went, you'd see such sights!<br />
+				Such rugs and jugs and candle-lights!<br />
+				And, more than all, the king and queen,&#8212;<br />
+				One in red, and one in green."<br />
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">III.</p>
+				<p>
+				"O Mr. Daddy Long-legs!"<br />
+				<span class="i4">Said Mr. Floppy Fly,</span>
+				"It's true I never go to court;<br />
+				<span class="i4">And I will tell you why.</span>
+				If I had six long legs like yours,<br />
+				<span class="i4">At once I'd go to court;</span>
+				But, oh! I can't, because <i>my</i> legs<br />
+				<span class="i4">Are so extremely short.</span>
+				And I'm afraid the king and queen<br />
+				(One in red, and one in green)<br />
+				Would say aloud, 'You are not fit,<br />
+				You Fly, to come to court a bit!'"<br />
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">IV.</p>
+				<p>
+				"Oh, Mr. Daddy Long-legs!"<br />
+				<span class="i4">Said Mr. Floppy Fly,</span>
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page098" id="page098" title="098"></a>
+				"I wish you 'd sing one little song,<br />
+				<span class="i2">One mumbian melody.</span>
+				You used to sing so awful well<br />
+				<span class="i2">In former days gone by;</span>
+				But now you never sing at all:<br />
+				<span class="i2">I wish you'd tell me why:</span>
+				For, if you would, the silvery sound<br />
+				Would please the shrimps and cockles round,<br />
+				And all the crabs would gladly come<br />
+				To hear you sing, 'Ah, Hum di Hum!'"<br />
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">V.</p>
+				<p>
+				Said Mr. Daddy Long-legs,<br />
+				<span class="i2">"I can never sing again;</span>
+				And, if you wish, I'll tell you why,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Although it gives me pain.</span>
+				For years I cannot hum a bit,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Or sing the smallest song;</span>
+				And this the dreadful reason is,&#8212;<br />
+				<span class="i2">My legs are grown too long!</span>
+				My six long legs, all here and there,<br />
+				Oppress my bosom with despair;<br />
+				And, if I stand or lie or sit,<br />
+				I cannot sing one single bit!"<br />
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">VI.</p>
+				<p>
+				So Mr. Daddy Long-legs<br />
+				<span class="i2">And Mr. Floppy Fly</span>
+				Sat down in silence by the sea,<br />
+				<span class="i2">And gazed upon the sky.</span>
+				They said, "This is a dreadful thing!<br />
+				<span class="i2">The world has all gone wrong,</span>
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page099" id="page099" title="099"></a>
+				Since one has legs too short by half,<br />
+				<span class="i2">The other much too long.</span>
+				One never more can go to court,<br />

+				The other cannot sing a song,<br />
+				Because his legs have grown too long!"

+				<p class="versenumber">VII.</p>
+				<p>
+				Then Mr. Daddy Long-legs<br />
+				<span class="i2">And Mr. Floppy Fly</span>
+				Rushed downward to the foamy sea<br />
+				<span class="i2">With one sponge-taneous cry:</span>
+				And there they found a little boat,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Whose sails were pink and gray;</span>
+				And off they sailed among the waves,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Far and far away:</span>
+				They sailed across the silent main,<br />
+				And reached the great Gromboolian Plain;<br />
+				And there they play forevermore<br />

+					<h3>THE STORY OF THE FOUR LITTLE CHILDREN WHO WENT ROUND THE WORLD.</h3>
+					<p>
+					Once upon a time, a long while ago, there were four little
+					people whose names were<br />
+					<br />
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/139.gif" alt="Violet, Slingsby, Guy, and Lionel;" />
+					<br />
+					and they all thought they should like to see the world. So they
+					bought a large boat to sail quite round the world by sea, and then
+					they were to come back on the other side by land. The boat was
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page122" id="page122" title="122"></a>
+					painted blue with green spots, and the sail was yellow with red
+					stripes: and, when they set off, they only took a small Cat to steer
+					and look after the boat, besides an elderly Quangle-Wangle, who
+					had to cook the dinner and make the tea; for which purposes they
+					took a large kettle.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/140.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					For the first ten days they sailed on beautifully, and found plenty
+					to eat, as there were lots of fish; and they had only to take them
+					out of the sea with a long spoon, when the Quangle-Wangle instantly
+					cooked them; and the Pussy-Cat was fed with the bones,
+					with which she expressed herself pleased, on the whole: so that all
+					the party were very happy.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/141.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page123" id="page123" title="123"></a>
+					<p>
+					During the daytime, Violet chiefly occupied herself in putting
+					salt water into a churn; while her three brothers churned it violently,
+					in the hope that it would turn into butter, which it seldom
+					if ever did; and in the evening they all retired into the tea-kettle,
+					where they all managed to sleep very comfortably, while Pussy and
+					the Quangle-Wangle managed the boat.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/142.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					After a time, they saw some land at a distance; and, when they
+					came to it, they found it was an island made of water quite surrounded
+					by earth. Besides that, it was bordered by evanescent
+					isthmuses, with a great gulf-stream running about all over it; so
+					that it was perfectly beautiful, and contained only a single tree,
+					503 feet high.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					<img src="images/143.gif" align="left" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." /><br />
+					When they had landed, they walked about, but found, to their
+					great surprise, that the island was quite full of veal-cutlets and
+					chocolate-drops, and nothing else. So they all climbed up the
+					single high tree to discover, if possible, if there were any people;
+					but having remained on the top of the tree for a week, and not
+					seeing anybody, they naturally concluded that there were no inhabitants;
+					and accordingly, when they came down, they loaded
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page124" id="page124" title="124"></a>
+					the boat with two thousand veal-cutlets
+					and a million of chocolate-drops;
+					and these afforded
+					them sustenance for more than
+					a month, during which time
+					they pursued their voyage with
+					the utmost delight and apathy.

+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/144.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World."/><br />
+					After this they came to a
+					shore where there were no less than sixty-five
+					great red parrots with blue tails, sitting
+					on a rail all of a row, and all fast asleep.
+					And I am sorry to say that the Pussy-Cat
+					and the Quangle-Wangle crept softly, and
+					bit off the tail-feathers of all the sixty-five
+					parrots; for which Violet reproved them
+					both severely.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Notwithstanding which, she proceeded
+					to insert all the feathers&#8212;two hundred
+					and sixty in number&#8212;in her bonnet;
+					thereby causing it to have a lovely and
+					glittering appearance, highly prepossessing
+					and efficacious.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/145.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					The next thing that happened to them
+					was in a narrow part of the sea, which was
+					so entirely full of fishes that the boat could
+					go on no farther: so they remained there
+					about six weeks, till they had eaten nearly
+					all the fishes, which were soles, and all
+					ready-cooked, and covered with shrimp-sauce,
+					so that there was no trouble whatever.
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page125" id="page125" title="125"></a>
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					And as the few fishes who remained uneaten complained of
+					the cold, as well as of the difficulty they had in getting any sleep on
+					account of the extreme noise made by the arctic bears and the tropical
+					turnspits, which frequented the neighborhood in great numbers,
+					Violet most amiably knitted a small woollen frock for several of
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page126" id="page126" title="126"></a>
+					the fishes, and Slingsby administered some opium-drops to them;
+					through which kindness they became quite warm, and slept soundly.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/146.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					Then they came to a country which was wholly covered with
+					immense orange-trees of a vast size, and quite full of fruit. So they
+					all landed, taking with them the tea-kettle, intending to gather some
+					of the oranges, and place them in it. But, while they were busy
+					about this, a most dreadfully high wind rose, and blew out most of
+					the parrot-tail feathers from Violet's bonnet. That, however, was
+					nothing compared with the calamity of the oranges falling down on
+					their heads by millions and millions, which thumped and bumped
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page127" id="page127" title="127"></a>
+					and bumped and thumped them all so seriously, that they were
+					obliged to run as hard as they could for their lives; besides that
+					the sound of the oranges rattling on the tea-kettle was of the most
+					fearful and amazing nature.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/147.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					Nevertheless, they got safely to the boat, although considerably
+					vexed and hurt; and the Quangle-Wangle's right foot was so
+					knocked about, that he had to sit with his head in his slipper for
+					at least a week.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/148.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." /><br />
+					<p>
+					This event made them all for a time rather melancholy: and perhaps
+					they might never have become less so, had not Lionel, with a
+					most praiseworthy devotion and perseverance, continued to stand
+					on one leg,<br />
+					and whistle to them in a loud and lively manner; which
+					diverted the whole party so extremely
+					that they gradually recovered
+					their spirits, and agreed
+					that whenever they should reach
+					home, they would subscribe towards
+					a testimonial to Lionel, entirely
+					made of gingerbread and
+					raspberries, as an earnest token of
+					their sincere and grateful infection.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/149.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+
+					<p>
+					After sailing on calmly for
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page128" id="page128" title="128"></a>
+					several more days, they came to another country, where they were
+					much pleased and surprised to see a countless multitude of white
+					Mice with red eyes, all sitting in a great circle, slowly eating
+					custard-pudding with the most satisfactory and polite demeanor.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/150.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					And as the four travellers were rather hungry, being tired of eating
+					nothing but soles and oranges for so long a period, they held
+					a council as to the propriety of asking the Mice for some of their
+					pudding in a humble and affecting manner, by which they could
+					hardly be otherwise than gratified. It was agreed, therefore, that
+					Guy should go and ask the Mice, which he immediately did; and
+					the result was, that they gave a walnut-shell only half full of custard
+					diluted with water. Now, this displeased Guy, who said, "Out of
+					such a lot of pudding as you have got, I must say, you might have
+					spared a somewhat larger quantity." But no sooner had he finished
+					speaking than the Mice turned round at once, and sneezed at him
+					in an appalling and vindictive manner (and it is impossible to
+					imagine a more scroobious and unpleasant sound than that caused by
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page129" id="page129" title="129"></a>
+					the simultaneous sneezing of many millions of angry Mice); so that
+					Guy rushed back to the boat, having first shied his cap into the
+					middle of the custard-pudding, by which means he completely
+					spoiled the Mice's dinner.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/151.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					By and by the four children came to a country where there were
+					no houses, but only an incredibly innumerable number of large
+					bottles without corks, and of a dazzling and sweetly susceptible blue
+					color. Each of these blue bottles contained a Blue-Bottle-Fly; and
+					all these interesting animals live continually together in the most
+					copious and rural harmony: nor perhaps in many parts of the world
+					is such perfect and abject happiness to be found. Violet and
+					Slingsby and Guy and Lionel were greatly struck with this singular
+					and instructive settlement; and, having previously asked permission
+					of the Blue-Bottle-Flies (which was most courteously granted), the
+					boat was drawn up to the shore, and they proceeded to make tea in
+					front of the bottles: but as they had no tea-leaves, they merely
+					placed some pebbles in the hot water; and the Quangle-Wangle
+					played some tunes over it on an accordion, by which, of course, tea
+					was made directly, and of the very best quality.
+					</p>
+				<img class="centeredimage" src="images/152.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					The four children then entered into conversation with the Blue-Bottle-Flies,
+					who discoursed in a placid and genteel manner, though
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page130" id="page130" title="130"></a>
+					with a slightly buzzing accent, chiefly owing to the fact that they
+					each held a small clothes-brush between their teeth, which naturally
+					occasioned a fizzy, extraneous utterance.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"Why," said Violet, "would you kindly inform us, do you reside
+					in bottles; and, if in bottles at all, why not, rather, in green or purple,
+					or, indeed, in yellow bottles?"
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					To which questions a very aged Blue-Bottle-Fly answered, "We
+					found the bottles here all ready to live in; that is to say, our
+					great-great-great-great-great-grandfathers did: so we occupied them at
+					once. And, when the winter comes on, we turn the bottles upside
+					down, and consequently rarely feel the cold at all; and you know
+					very well that this could not be the case with bottles of any other
+					color than blue."
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"Of course it could not," said Slingsby. "But, if we may take
+					the liberty of inquiring, on what do you chiefly subsist?"
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"Mainly on oyster-patties," said the Blue-Bottle-Fly; "and,
+					when these are scarce, on raspberry vinegar and Russian leather
+					boiled down to a jelly."
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"How delicious!" said Guy.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					To which Lionel added, "Huzz!" And all the Blue-Bottle-Flies
+					said, "Buzz!"
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					At this time, an elderly Fly said it was the hour for the evening-song
+					to be sung; and, on a signal being given, all the Blue-Bottle-Flies
+					began to buzz at once in a sumptuous and sonorous manner,
+					the melodious and mucilaginous sounds echoing all over the waters,
+					and resounding across the tumultuous tops of the transitory titmice
+					upon the intervening and verdant mountains with a serene and
+					sickly suavity only known to the truly virtuous. The Moon was
+					shining slobaciously from the star-bespangled sky, while her light
+					irrigated the smooth and shiny sides and wings and backs of the
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page131" id="page131" title="131"></a>
+					Blue-Bottle-Flies with a peculiar and trivial splendor, while all
+					Nature cheerfully responded to the cerulean and conspicuous
+					circumstances.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					In many long-after years, the four little travellers looked back to
+					that evening as one of the happiest in all their lives; and it was
+					already past midnight when&#8212;the sail of the boat having been set
+					up by the Quangle-Wangle, the tea-kettle and churn placed in their
+					respective positions, and the Pussy-Cat stationed at the helm&#8212;the
+					children each took a last and affectionate farewell of the Blue-Bottle-Flies,
+					who walked down in a body to the water's edge to see the
+					travellers embark.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/153.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					As a token of parting respect and esteem, Violet made a courtesy
+					quite down to the ground, and stuck one of her few remaining
+					parrot-tail feathers into the back hair of the most pleasing of the
+					Blue-Bottle-Flies; while Slingsby, Guy, and Lionel offered them
+					three small boxes, containing, respectively, black pins, dried figs,
+					and Epsom salts; and thus they left that happy shore forever.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Overcome by their feelings, the four little travellers instantly
+					jumped into the tea-kettle, and fell fast asleep. But all along
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page132" id="page132" title="132"></a>
+					the shore, for many hours, there was distinctly heard a sound of
+					severely-suppressed sobs, and of a vague multitude of living creatures
+					using their pocket-handkerchiefs in a subdued simultaneous
+					snuffle, lingering sadly along the walloping waves as the boat sailed
+					farther and farther away from the Land of the Happy Blue-Bottle-Flies.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Nothing particular occurred for some days after these events,
+					except that, as the travellers were passing a low tract of sand, they
+					perceived an unusual and gratifying spectacle; namely, a large
+					number of Crabs and Crawfish&#8212;perhaps six or seven hundred&#8212;sitting
+					by the water-side, and endeavoring to disentangle a vast
+					heap of pale pink worsted, which they moistened at intervals with
+					a fluid composed of lavender-water and white-wine negus.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"Can we be of any service to you, O crusty Crabbies?" said the
+					four children.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"Thank you kindly," said the Crabs consecutively. "We are
+					trying to make some worsted mittens, but do not know how."
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					On which Violet, who was perfectly acquainted with the art of
+					mitten-making, said to the Crabs, "Do your claws unscrew, or are
+					they fixtures?"
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"They are all made to unscrew," said the Crabs; and forthwith
+					they deposited a great pile of claws close to the boat, with which
+					Violet uncombed all the pale pink worsted, and then made the loveliest
+					mittens with it you can imagine. These the Crabs, having
+					resumed and screwed on their claws, placed cheerfully upon their
+					wrists, and walked away rapidly on their hind-legs, warbling songs
+					with a silvery voice and in a minor key.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					After this, the four little people sailed on again till they came to
+					a vast and wide plain of astonishing dimensions, on which nothing
+					whatever could be discovered at first; but, as the travellers walked
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page133" id="page133" title="133"></a>
+					onward, there appeared in the extreme and dim distance a single
+					object, which on a nearer approach, and on an accurately cutaneous
+					inspection, seemed to be somebody in a large white wig, sitting on
+					an arm-chair made of sponge-cakes and oyster-shells. "It does not
+					quite look like a human being," said Violet doubtfully; nor could
+					they make out what it really was, till the Quangle-Wangle (who had
+					previously been round the world) exclaimed softly in a loud voice,
+					"It is the co-operative Cauliflower!"
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/154.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					And so, in truth, it was: and they soon found that what they had
+					taken for an immense wig was in reality the top of the Cauliflower;
+					and that he had no feet at all, being able to walk tolerably well with
+					a fluctuating and graceful movement on a single cabbage-stalk,&#8212;an
+					accomplishment which naturally saved him the expense of stockings
+					and shoes.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Presently, while the whole party from the boat was gazing at
+					him with mingled affection and disgust, he suddenly arose, and,
+					in a somewhat plumdomphious manner, hurried off towards the
+					setting sun,&#8212;his steps supported by two superincumbent confidential
+					Cucumbers, and a large number of Waterwagtails proceeding
+					in advance of him by three and three in a row,&#8212;till he finally
+					disappeared on the brink of the western sky in a crystal cloud of
+					sudorific sand.
+					</p>
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page134" id="page134" title="134"></a>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/155.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					So remarkable a sight, of course, impressed the four children very
+					deeply; and they returned immediately to their boat with a strong
+					sense of undeveloped asthma and a great appetite.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Shortly after this, the travellers were obliged to sail directly below
+					some high overhanging rocks, from the top of one of which a particularly
+					odious little boy, dressed in rose-colored knickerbockers,
+					and with a pewter plate upon his head, threw an enormous pumpkin
+					at the boat, by which it was instantly upset.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/156.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					But this upsetting was of no consequence, because all the party
+					knew how to swim very well: and, in fact, they preferred swimming
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page135" id="page135" title="135"></a>
+					about till after the moon rose; when, the water growing chilly, they
+					sponge-taneously entered the boat. Meanwhile the Quangle-Wangle
+					threw back the pumpkin with immense force, so that it hit the rocks
+					where the malicious little boy in rose-colored knickerbockers was
+					sitting; when, being quite full of lucifer-matches, the pumpkin
+					exploded surreptitiously into a thousand bits; whereon the rocks
+					instantly took fire, and the odious little boy became unpleasantly
+					hotter and hotter and hotter, till his knickerbockers were turned
+					quite green, and his nose was burnt off.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Two or three days after this had happened, they came to another
+					place, where they found nothing at all except some wide and deep
+					pits full of mulberry-jam. This is the property of the tiny, yellow-nosed
+					Apes who abound in these districts, and who store up the
+					mulberry-jam for their food in winter, when they mix it with pellucid
+					pale periwinkle-soup, and serve it out in wedgewood china-bowls,
+					which grow freely all over that part of the country. Only
+					one of the yellow-nosed Apes was on the spot, and he was fast
+					asleep; yet the four travellers and the Quangle-Wangle and Pussy
+					were so terrified by the violence and sanguinary sound of his snoring,
+					that they merely took a small cupful of the jam, and returned
+					to re-embark in their boat without delay.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					What was their horror on seeing the boat (including the churn
+					and the tea-kettle) in the mouth of an enormous Seeze Pyder, an
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page136" id="page136" title="136"></a>
+					aquatic and ferocious creature truly dreadful to behold, and,
+					happily, only met with in those excessive longitudes! In a moment,
+					the beautiful boat was bitten into fifty-five thousand million hundred
+					billion bits; and it instantly became quite clear that Violet, Slingsby,
+					Guy, and Lionel could no longer preliminate their voyage by sea.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/157.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					The four travellers were therefore obliged to resolve on pursuing
+					their wanderings by land: and, very fortunately, there happened
+					to pass by at that moment an elderly Rhinoceros, on which they
+					seized; and, all four mounting on his back,&#8212;the Quangle-Wangle
+					sitting on his horn, and holding on by his ears, and the Pussy-Cat
+					swinging at the end of his tail,&#8212;they set off, having only four small
+					beans and three pounds of mashed potatoes to last through their
+					whole journey.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/158.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					They were, however, able to catch numbers of the chickens and
+					turkeys and other birds who incessantly alighted on the head of the
+					Rhinoceros for the purpose of gathering the seeds of the rhododendron-plants which grew there; and these creatures they cooked in
+					the most translucent and satisfactory manner by means of a fire
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page137" id="page137" title="137"></a>
+					lighted on the end of the Rhinoceros's back. A crowd of Kangaroos
+					and gigantic Cranes accompanied them, from feelings of curiosity
+					and complacency; so that they were never at a loss for company,
+					and went onward, as it were, in a sort of profuse and triumphant
+					procession.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Thus in less than eighteen weeks they all arrived safely at
+					home, where they were received by their admiring relatives with
+					joy tempered with contempt, and where they finally resolved to
+					carry out the rest of their travelling-plans at some more favorable
+					opportunity.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					As for the Rhinoceros, in token of their grateful adherence, they
+					had him killed and stuffed directly, and then set him up outside
+					the door of their father's house as a diaphanous doorscraper.

+						<p>
+						The Parrots lived upon the Soffsky-Poffsky trees, which were
+						beautiful to behold, and covered with blue leaves; and they
+						fed upon fruit, artichokes, and striped beetles.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						The Storks walked in and out of the Lake Pipple-Popple, and
+						ate frogs for breakfast, and buttered toast for tea; but on account
+						of the extreme length of their legs they could not sit down, and so
+						they walked about continually.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						The Geese, having webs to their feet, caught quantities of flies,
+						which they ate for dinner.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						The Owls anxiously looked after mice, which they caught, and
+						made into sago-puddings.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						The Guinea Pigs toddled about the gardens, and ate lettuces
+						and Cheshire cheese.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						<a class="pagenumber" name="page142" id="page142" title="142"></a>
+						The Cats sate still in the sunshine, and fed upon sponge biscuits.

+						<p>
+						The Fishes lived in the lake, and fed chiefly on boiled periwinkles.

+						One day all the seven fathers and the seven mothers of the

+						out to see the world.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So they called them all together, and gave them each eight
+						shillings and some good advice, some chocolate-drops, and a small
+						green morocco pocket-book to set down their expenses in.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						They then particularly entreated them not to quarrel; and all
+						the parents sent off their children with a parting injunction.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						"If," said the old Parrots, "you find a cherry, do not fight
+						about who should have it."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						"And," said the old Storks, "if you find a frog, divide it carefully
+						into seven bits, but on no account quarrel about it."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						And the old Geese said to the seven young Geese, "Whatever
+						you do, be sure you do not touch a plum-pudding flea."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						And the old Owls said, "If you find a mouse, tear him up into
+						seven slices, and eat him cheerfully, but without quarrelling."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						And the old Guinea Pigs said, "Have a care that you eat your
+						lettuces, should you find any, not greedily, but calmly."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						And the old Cats said, "Be particularly careful not to meddle
+						with a clangle-wangle if you should see one."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						<a class="pagenumber" name="page143" id="page143" title="143"></a>

+						boss-woss; for they do not agree with fishes, and give them a pain
+						in their toes."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So all the children of each family thanked their parents; and,

+						fourteen weeks in a straight line, and for six weeks more in
+						a crooked one; and after that they ran as hard as they could for
+						one hundred and eight miles; and after that they stood still, and

+						</p>
+						<p>
+						About the same time they perceived a large frog, spotted with
+						green, and with a sky-blue stripe under each ear.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So, being hungry, they immediately flew at him, and were going
+						to divide him into seven pieces, when they began to quarrel as to

+						another said that; and while they were all quarrelling, the frog
+						<a class="pagenumber" name="page145" id="page145" title="145"></a>

+						<p>
+						When the seven young Geese began to travel, they went over
+						a large plain, on which there was but one tree, and that was,
+						a very bad one.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						<a class="pagenumber" name="page146" id="page146" title="146"></a>
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So four of them went up to the top of it, and looked about
+						them; while the other three waddled up and down, and repeated
+						poetry, and their last six lessons in arithmetic, geography, and
+						cookery.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						Presently they perceived, a long way off, an object of the most
+						interesting and obese appearance, having a perfectly round body
+						exactly resembling a boiled plum-pudding, with two little wings, and
+						a beak, and three feathers growing out of his head, and only one
+						leg.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So, after a time, all the seven young Geese said to each
+						other, "Beyond all doubt this beast must be a Plum-pudding
+						Flea!"
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						On which they incautiously began to sing aloud,
+						</p>
+						<blockquote>
+						<span class="i12">"Plum-pudding Flea,</span>
+						<span class="i12">Plum-pudding Flea,</span>
+						<span class="i12">Wherever you be,</span>
+						<span class="i12">Oh! come to our tree,</span>
+						<span class="i8">And listen, oh! listen, oh! listen to me!"</span>
+						</blockquote>
+						<p>
+						And no sooner had they sung this verse than the Plum-pudding
+						Flea began to hop and skip on his one leg with the
+						most dreadful velocity, and came straight to the tree, where he
+						stopped, and looked about him in a vacant and voluminous
+						manner.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						On which the seven young Geese were greatly alarmed, and all
+						of a tremble-bemble: so one of them put out his long neck, and
+						just touched him with the tip of his bill; but no sooner had he
+						done this than the Plum-pudding Flea skipped and hopped about
+						more and more, and higher and higher; after which he opened
+						his mouth, and, to the great surprise and indignation of the seven
+						Geese, began to bark so loudly and furiously and terribly, that
+						<a class="pagenumber" name="page147" id="page147" title="147"></a>
+						they were totally unable to bear the noise; and by degrees every
+						one of them suddenly tumbled down quite dead.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So that was the end of the seven young Geese.

+						<p>
+						And one night, when it was quite dark, they thought they heard

+						asleep. When they awoke, they saw a large lettuce, which had
+						grown out of the ground while they had been sleeping, and which

+						perceived at a long distance off a Clangle-Wangle (or, as it is more
+						properly written, Clangel-Wangel); and, in spite of the warning
+						they had had, they ran straight up to it.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						(Now, the Clangle-Wangle is a most dangerous and delusive
+						beast, and by no means commonly to be met with. They live in
+						the water as well as on land, using their long tail as a sail when in
+						the former element. Their speed is extreme; but their habits of
+						life are domestic and superfluous, and their general demeanor pensive
+										<a class="pagenumber" name="page150" id="page150" title="150"></a>
+						and pellucid. On summer evenings, they may sometimes be
+						observed near the Lake Pipple-Popple, standing on their heads, and
+						humming their national melodies. They subsist entirely on vegetables,
+						excepting when they eat veal or mutton or pork or beef or
+						fish or saltpetre.)
+						</p>
+						<p>

+			<h3>THREE RECEIPTS FOR DOMESTIC COOKERY.</h3>
+			<hr />
+			<div class="recipe" id="cook1">
+				<h4>TO MAKE AN AMBLONGUS PIE.</h4>
+				<p>
+				Take 4 pounds (say 4&#189; pounds) of fresh Amblongusses, and
+				put them in a small pipkin.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Cover them with water, and boil them for 8 hours incessantly;
+				after which add 2 pints of new milk, and proceed to boil for 4
+				hours more.
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page157" id="page157" title="157"></a>						</p>
+				<p>
+				When you have ascertained that the Amblongusses are quite
+				soft, take them out, and place them in a wide pan, taking care to
+				shake them well previously.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Grate some nutmeg over the surface, and cover them carefully
+				with powdered gingerbread, curry-powder, and a sufficient quantity
+				of Cayenne pepper.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Remove the pan into the next room, and place it on the floor.
+				Bring it back again, and let it simmer for three-quarters of an hour.
+				Shake the pan violently till all the Amblongusses have become of a
+				pale purple color.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Then, having prepared the paste, insert the whole carefully;
+				adding at the same time a small pigeon, 2 slices of beef, 4 cauliflowers,
+				and any number of oysters.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Watch patiently till the crust begins to rise, and add a pinch of
+				salt from time to time.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Serve up in a clean dish, and throw the whole out of window
+				as fast as possible.
+				</p>
+			</div>
+			<hr />
+			<div class="recipe" id="cook2">
+				<h4>TO MAKE CRUMBOBBLIOUS CUTLETS.</h4>
+				<p>
+				Procure some strips of beef, and, having cut them into the
+				smallest possible slices, proceed to cut them still smaller,&#8212;
+				eight, or perhaps nine times.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				When the whole is thus minced, brush it up hastily with a new
+				clothes-brush, and stir round rapidly and capriciously with a salt-spoon
+				or a soup-ladle.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Place the whole in a saucepan, and remove it to a sunny place,
+				&#8212;say the roof of the house, if free from sparrows or other birds,&#8212;
+				and leave it there for about a week.
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page158" id="page158" title="158"></a>
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				At the end of that time add a little lavender, some oil of almonds,
+				and a few herring-bones; and then cover the whole with
+				4 gallons of clarified Crumbobblious sauce, when it will be ready
+				for use.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Cut it into the shape of ordinary cutlets, and serve up in a clean
+				table-cloth or dinner-napkin.
+				</p>
+			</div>
+			<hr />
+			<div class="recipe" id="cook3">
+				<h4>TO MAKE GOSKY PATTIES.</h4>
+				<p>
+				Take a pig three or four years of age, and tie him by the off
+				hind-leg to a post. Place 5 pounds of currants, 3 of sugar, 2
+				pecks of peas, 18 roast chestnuts, a candle, and 6 bushels of turnips,
+				within his reach: if he eats these, constantly provide him
+				with more.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Then procure some cream, some slices of Cheshire cheese, 4
+				quires of foolscap paper, and a packet of black pins. Work the
+				whole into a paste, and spread it out to dry on a sheet of clean
+				brown waterproof linen.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				When the paste is perfectly dry, but not before, proceed to beat
+				the pig violently with the handle of a large broom. If he squeals,
+				beat him again.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Visit the paste and beat the pig alternately for some days, and
+				ascertain if, at the end of that period, the whole is about to turn
+				into Gosky Patties.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				If it does not then, it never will; and in that case the pig
+				may be let loose, and the whole process may be considered as
+				finished.

+				<span class="i4">In a beautiful pea-green boat:</span>
+				They took some honey, and plenty of money<br />
+				<span class="i2">Wrapped up in a five-pound note.</span>
+				The Owl looked up to the stars above,<br />
+				<span class="i2">And sang to a small guitar,</span>
+				"O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,<br />
+				<span class="i2">What a beautiful Pussy you are,</span>

+				<span class="i2">How charmingly sweet you sing!</span>
+				Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried:<br />
+				<span class="i2">But what shall we do for a ring?"</span>
+				They sailed away, for a year and a day,<br />
+				<span class="i2">To the land where the bong-tree grows;</span>
+				And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,<br />
+				<span class="i2">With a ring at the end of his nose,</span>
+				<span class="i6">His nose,</span>
+				<span class="i6">His nose,</span>

+				<p>
+				"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling<br />
+				<span class="i2">Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."</span>

+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page091" id="page091" title="091"></a>

+				And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,<br />
+				<span class="i2">They danced by the light of the moon,</span>

+				Perhaps, on the whole, it might bring me luck;<br />
+				<span class="i2">And there seems but one objection;</span>
+				Which is, if you'll let me speak so bold,<br />
+				Your feet are unpleasantly wet and cold,<br />
+				<span class="i2">And would probably give me the roo-</span>

+				Said the Duck, "As I sate on the rocks,<br />
+				<span class="i2">I have thought over that completely;</span>
+				And I bought four pairs of worsted socks,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Which fit my web-feet neatly;</span>
+				And, to keep out the cold, I've bought a cloak;<br />
+				And every day a cigar I'll smoke;<br />
+				<span class="i2">All to follow my own dear true</span>

+				Said the Kangaroo, "I'm ready,<br />
+				<span class="i2">All in the moonlight pale;</span>

+				<span class="i2">And quite at the end of my tail."</span>

+				<span class="i2">Dressed in brown and gray,</span>
+				Walked about upon the sands<br />
+				<span class="i2">Upon a summer's day:</span>
+				And there among the pebbles,<br />
+				<span class="i2">When the wind was rather cold,</span>
+				He met with Mr. Floppy Fly,<br />
+				<span class="i2">All dressed in blue and gold;</span>
+				And, as it was too soon to dine,<br />
+				They drank some periwinkle-wine,<br />
+				And played an hour or two, or more,<br />
+				At battlecock and shuttledore.<br />
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page097" id="page097" title="097"></a>
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">II.</p>
+				<p>
+				Said Mr. Daddy Long-legs<br />
+				<span class="i4">To Mr. Floppy Fly,</span>
+				"Why do you never come to court?<br />
+				<span class="i4">I wish you 'd tell me why.</span>
+				All gold and shine, in dress so fine,<br />
+				<span class="i4">You'd quite delight the court.</span>
+				Why do you never go at all?<br />
+				<span class="i4">I really think you <i>ought</i>.</span>
+				And, if you went, you'd see such sights!<br />
+				Such rugs and jugs and candle-lights!<br />
+				And, more than all, the king and queen,&#8212;<br />
+				One in red, and one in green."<br />
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">III.</p>
+				<p>
+				"O Mr. Daddy Long-legs!"<br />
+				<span class="i4">Said Mr. Floppy Fly,</span>
+				"It's true I never go to court;<br />
+				<span class="i4">And I will tell you why.</span>
+				If I had six long legs like yours,<br />
+				<span class="i4">At once I'd go to court;</span>
+				But, oh! I can't, because <i>my</i> legs<br />
+				<span class="i4">Are so extremely short.</span>
+				And I'm afraid the king and queen<br />
+				(One in red, and one in green)<br />
+				Would say aloud, 'You are not fit,<br />
+				You Fly, to come to court a bit!'"<br />
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">IV.</p>
+				<p>
+				"Oh, Mr. Daddy Long-legs!"<br />
+				<span class="i4">Said Mr. Floppy Fly,</span>
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page098" id="page098" title="098"></a>
+				"I wish you 'd sing one little song,<br />
+				<span class="i2">One mumbian melody.</span>
+				You used to sing so awful well<br />
+				<span class="i2">In former days gone by;</span>
+				But now you never sing at all:<br />
+				<span class="i2">I wish you'd tell me why:</span>
+				For, if you would, the silvery sound<br />
+				Would please the shrimps and cockles round,<br />
+				And all the crabs would gladly come<br />
+				To hear you sing, 'Ah, Hum di Hum!'"<br />
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">V.</p>
+				<p>
+				Said Mr. Daddy Long-legs,<br />
+				<span class="i2">"I can never sing again;</span>
+				And, if you wish, I'll tell you why,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Although it gives me pain.</span>
+				For years I cannot hum a bit,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Or sing the smallest song;</span>
+				And this the dreadful reason is,&#8212;<br />
+				<span class="i2">My legs are grown too long!</span>
+				My six long legs, all here and there,<br />
+				Oppress my bosom with despair;<br />
+				And, if I stand or lie or sit,<br />
+				I cannot sing one single bit!"<br />
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">VI.</p>
+				<p>
+				So Mr. Daddy Long-legs<br />
+				<span class="i2">And Mr. Floppy Fly</span>
+				Sat down in silence by the sea,<br />
+				<span class="i2">And gazed upon the sky.</span>
+				They said, "This is a dreadful thing!<br />
+				<span class="i2">The world has all gone wrong,</span>
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page099" id="page099" title="099"></a>
+				Since one has legs too short by half,<br />
+				<span class="i2">The other much too long.</span>
+				One never more can go to court,<br />
+				Because his legs have grown too short;<br />
+				The other cannot sing a song,<br />
+				Because his legs have grown too long!"
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">VII.</p>
+				<p>
+				Then Mr. Daddy Long-legs<br />
+				<span class="i2">And Mr. Floppy Fly</span>
+				Rushed downward to the foamy sea<br />
+				<span class="i2">With one sponge-taneous cry:</span>
+				And there they found a little boat,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Whose sails were pink and gray;</span>
+				And off they sailed among the waves,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Far and far away:</span>
+				They sailed across the silent main,<br />
+				And reached the great Gromboolian Plain;<br />
+				And there they play forevermore<br />
+				At battlecock and shuttledore.<br />

+				<p>
+				<span class="largecap">T</span>he Broom and the Shovel, the Poker and Tongs,<br />
+				<span class="i2">They all took a drive in the Park;</span>
+				And they each sang a song, ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!<br />
+				<span class="i2">Before they went back in the dark.</span>
+				Mr. Poker he sate quite upright in the coach;<br />
+				<span class="i2">Mr. Tongs made a clatter and clash;</span>
+				Miss Shovel was dressed all in black (with a brooch);<br />
+				<span class="i2">Mrs. Broom was in blue (with a sash).</span>
+				<span class="i4">Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!</span>
+				<span class="i4">And they all sang a song.</span>

+				<p class="versenumber">II.</p>
+				<p>
+				"O Shovely so lovely!" the Poker he sang,<br />
+				<span class="i2">"You have perfectly conquered my heart.</span>
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page115" id="page115" title="115"></a>
+				Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong! If you're pleased with my song,<br />
+				<span class="i2">I will feed you with cold apple-tart.</span>
+				When you scrape up the coals with a delicate sound,<br />
+				<span class="i2">You enrapture my life with delight,</span>
+				Your nose is so shiny, your head is so round,<br />
+				<span class="i2">And your shape is so slender and bright!</span>
+				<span class="i4">Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!</span>
+				<span class="i4">Ain't you pleased with my song?"</span>
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">III.</p>
+				<p>
+				"Alas! Mrs. Broom," sighed the Tongs in his song,<br />
+				<span class="i2">"Oh! is it because I'm so thin,</span>
+				And my legs are so long,&#8212;ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!&#8212;<br />
+				<span class="i2">That you don't care about me a pin?</span>
+				Ah! fairest of creatures, when sweeping the room,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Ah! why don't you heed my complaint?</span>
+				Must you needs be so cruel, you beautiful Broom,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Because you are covered with paint?</span>
+				<span class="i4">Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!</span>
+				<span class="i4">You are certainly wrong."</span>
+				</p>
+				<p class="versenumber">IV.</p>
+				<p>
+				Mrs. Broom and Miss Shovel together they sang,<br />
+				<span class="i2">"What nonsense you're singing to-day!"</span>
+				Said the Shovel, "I'll certainly hit you a bang!"<br />
+				<span class="i2">Said the Broom, "And I'll sweep you away!"</span>
+				So the coachman drove homeward as fast as he could,<br />
+				<span class="i2">Perceiving their anger with pain;</span>
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page116" id="page116" title="116"></a>
+				But they put on the kettle, and little by little<br />
+				<span class="i2">They all became happy again.</span>
+				<span class="i4">Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!</span>
+				<span class="i4">There's an end of my song.</span>

+					<h3>THE STORY OF THE FOUR LITTLE CHILDREN WHO WENT ROUND THE WORLD.</h3>
+					<p>
+					Once upon a time, a long while ago, there were four little
+					people whose names were<br />
+					<br />
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/139.gif" alt="Violet, Slingsby, Guy, and Lionel;" />
+					<br />
+					and they all thought they should like to see the world. So they
+					bought a large boat to sail quite round the world by sea, and then
+					they were to come back on the other side by land. The boat was
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page122" id="page122" title="122"></a>
+					painted blue with green spots, and the sail was yellow with red
+					stripes: and, when they set off, they only took a small Cat to steer
+					and look after the boat, besides an elderly Quangle-Wangle, who
+					had to cook the dinner and make the tea; for which purposes they
+					took a large kettle.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/140.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					For the first ten days they sailed on beautifully, and found plenty
+					to eat, as there were lots of fish; and they had only to take them
+					out of the sea with a long spoon, when the Quangle-Wangle instantly
+					cooked them; and the Pussy-Cat was fed with the bones,
+					with which she expressed herself pleased, on the whole: so that all
+					the party were very happy.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/141.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page123" id="page123" title="123"></a>
+					<p>
+					During the daytime, Violet chiefly occupied herself in putting
+					salt water into a churn; while her three brothers churned it violently,
+					in the hope that it would turn into butter, which it seldom
+					if ever did; and in the evening they all retired into the tea-kettle,
+					where they all managed to sleep very comfortably, while Pussy and
+					the Quangle-Wangle managed the boat.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/142.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					After a time, they saw some land at a distance; and, when they
+					came to it, they found it was an island made of water quite surrounded
+					by earth. Besides that, it was bordered by evanescent
+					isthmuses, with a great gulf-stream running about all over it; so
+					that it was perfectly beautiful, and contained only a single tree,
+					503 feet high.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					<img src="images/143.gif" align="left" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." /><br />
+					When they had landed, they walked about, but found, to their
+					great surprise, that the island was quite full of veal-cutlets and
+					chocolate-drops, and nothing else. So they all climbed up the
+					single high tree to discover, if possible, if there were any people;
+					but having remained on the top of the tree for a week, and not
+					seeing anybody, they naturally concluded that there were no inhabitants;
+					and accordingly, when they came down, they loaded
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page124" id="page124" title="124"></a>
+					the boat with two thousand veal-cutlets
+					and a million of chocolate-drops;
+					and these afforded
+					them sustenance for more than
+					a month, during which time
+					they pursued their voyage with
+					the utmost delight and apathy.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/144.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World."/><br />
+					After this they came to a
+					shore where there were no less than sixty-five
+					great red parrots with blue tails, sitting
+					on a rail all of a row, and all fast asleep.
+					And I am sorry to say that the Pussy-Cat
+					and the Quangle-Wangle crept softly, and
+					bit off the tail-feathers of all the sixty-five
+					parrots; for which Violet reproved them
+					both severely.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Notwithstanding which, she proceeded
+					to insert all the feathers&#8212;two hundred
+					and sixty in number&#8212;in her bonnet;
+					thereby causing it to have a lovely and
+					glittering appearance, highly prepossessing
+					and efficacious.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/145.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					The next thing that happened to them
+					was in a narrow part of the sea, which was
+					so entirely full of fishes that the boat could
+					go on no farther: so they remained there
+					about six weeks, till they had eaten nearly
+					all the fishes, which were soles, and all
+					ready-cooked, and covered with shrimp-sauce,
+					so that there was no trouble whatever.
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page125" id="page125" title="125"></a>
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					And as the few fishes who remained uneaten complained of
+					the cold, as well as of the difficulty they had in getting any sleep on
+					account of the extreme noise made by the arctic bears and the tropical
+					turnspits, which frequented the neighborhood in great numbers,
+					Violet most amiably knitted a small woollen frock for several of
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page126" id="page126" title="126"></a>
+					the fishes, and Slingsby administered some opium-drops to them;
+					through which kindness they became quite warm, and slept soundly.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/146.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					Then they came to a country which was wholly covered with
+					immense orange-trees of a vast size, and quite full of fruit. So they
+					all landed, taking with them the tea-kettle, intending to gather some
+					of the oranges, and place them in it. But, while they were busy
+					about this, a most dreadfully high wind rose, and blew out most of
+					the parrot-tail feathers from Violet's bonnet. That, however, was
+					nothing compared with the calamity of the oranges falling down on
+					their heads by millions and millions, which thumped and bumped
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page127" id="page127" title="127"></a>
+					and bumped and thumped them all so seriously, that they were
+					obliged to run as hard as they could for their lives; besides that
+					the sound of the oranges rattling on the tea-kettle was of the most
+					fearful and amazing nature.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/147.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					Nevertheless, they got safely to the boat, although considerably
+					vexed and hurt; and the Quangle-Wangle's right foot was so
+					knocked about, that he had to sit with his head in his slipper for
+					at least a week.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/148.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." /><br />
+					<p>
+					This event made them all for a time rather melancholy: and perhaps
+					they might never have become less so, had not Lionel, with a
+					most praiseworthy devotion and perseverance, continued to stand
+					on one leg,<br />
+					and whistle to them in a loud and lively manner; which
+					diverted the whole party so extremely
+					that they gradually recovered
+					their spirits, and agreed
+					that whenever they should reach
+					home, they would subscribe towards
+					a testimonial to Lionel, entirely
+					made of gingerbread and
+					raspberries, as an earnest token of
+					their sincere and grateful infection.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/149.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+
+					<p>
+					After sailing on calmly for
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page128" id="page128" title="128"></a>
+					several more days, they came to another country, where they were
+					much pleased and surprised to see a countless multitude of white
+					Mice with red eyes, all sitting in a great circle, slowly eating
+					custard-pudding with the most satisfactory and polite demeanor.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/150.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					And as the four travellers were rather hungry, being tired of eating
+					nothing but soles and oranges for so long a period, they held
+					a council as to the propriety of asking the Mice for some of their
+					pudding in a humble and affecting manner, by which they could
+					hardly be otherwise than gratified. It was agreed, therefore, that
+					Guy should go and ask the Mice, which he immediately did; and
+					the result was, that they gave a walnut-shell only half full of custard
+					diluted with water. Now, this displeased Guy, who said, "Out of
+					such a lot of pudding as you have got, I must say, you might have
+					spared a somewhat larger quantity." But no sooner had he finished
+					speaking than the Mice turned round at once, and sneezed at him
+					in an appalling and vindictive manner (and it is impossible to
+					imagine a more scroobious and unpleasant sound than that caused by
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page129" id="page129" title="129"></a>
+					the simultaneous sneezing of many millions of angry Mice); so that
+					Guy rushed back to the boat, having first shied his cap into the
+					middle of the custard-pudding, by which means he completely
+					spoiled the Mice's dinner.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/151.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					By and by the four children came to a country where there were
+					no houses, but only an incredibly innumerable number of large
+					bottles without corks, and of a dazzling and sweetly susceptible blue
+					color. Each of these blue bottles contained a Blue-Bottle-Fly; and
+					all these interesting animals live continually together in the most
+					copious and rural harmony: nor perhaps in many parts of the world
+					is such perfect and abject happiness to be found. Violet and
+					Slingsby and Guy and Lionel were greatly struck with this singular
+					and instructive settlement; and, having previously asked permission
+					of the Blue-Bottle-Flies (which was most courteously granted), the
+					boat was drawn up to the shore, and they proceeded to make tea in
+					front of the bottles: but as they had no tea-leaves, they merely
+					placed some pebbles in the hot water; and the Quangle-Wangle
+					played some tunes over it on an accordion, by which, of course, tea
+					was made directly, and of the very best quality.
+					</p>
+				<img class="centeredimage" src="images/152.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					The four children then entered into conversation with the Blue-Bottle-Flies,
+					who discoursed in a placid and genteel manner, though
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page130" id="page130" title="130"></a>
+					with a slightly buzzing accent, chiefly owing to the fact that they
+					each held a small clothes-brush between their teeth, which naturally
+					occasioned a fizzy, extraneous utterance.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"Why," said Violet, "would you kindly inform us, do you reside
+					in bottles; and, if in bottles at all, why not, rather, in green or purple,
+					or, indeed, in yellow bottles?"
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					To which questions a very aged Blue-Bottle-Fly answered, "We
+					found the bottles here all ready to live in; that is to say, our
+					great-great-great-great-great-grandfathers did: so we occupied them at
+					once. And, when the winter comes on, we turn the bottles upside
+					down, and consequently rarely feel the cold at all; and you know
+					very well that this could not be the case with bottles of any other
+					color than blue."
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"Of course it could not," said Slingsby. "But, if we may take
+					the liberty of inquiring, on what do you chiefly subsist?"
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"Mainly on oyster-patties," said the Blue-Bottle-Fly; "and,
+					when these are scarce, on raspberry vinegar and Russian leather
+					boiled down to a jelly."
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"How delicious!" said Guy.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					To which Lionel added, "Huzz!" And all the Blue-Bottle-Flies
+					said, "Buzz!"
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					At this time, an elderly Fly said it was the hour for the evening-song
+					to be sung; and, on a signal being given, all the Blue-Bottle-Flies
+					began to buzz at once in a sumptuous and sonorous manner,
+					the melodious and mucilaginous sounds echoing all over the waters,
+					and resounding across the tumultuous tops of the transitory titmice
+					upon the intervening and verdant mountains with a serene and
+					sickly suavity only known to the truly virtuous. The Moon was
+					shining slobaciously from the star-bespangled sky, while her light
+					irrigated the smooth and shiny sides and wings and backs of the
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page131" id="page131" title="131"></a>
+					Blue-Bottle-Flies with a peculiar and trivial splendor, while all
+					Nature cheerfully responded to the cerulean and conspicuous
+					circumstances.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					In many long-after years, the four little travellers looked back to
+					that evening as one of the happiest in all their lives; and it was
+					already past midnight when&#8212;the sail of the boat having been set
+					up by the Quangle-Wangle, the tea-kettle and churn placed in their
+					respective positions, and the Pussy-Cat stationed at the helm&#8212;the
+					children each took a last and affectionate farewell of the Blue-Bottle-Flies,
+					who walked down in a body to the water's edge to see the
+					travellers embark.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/153.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					As a token of parting respect and esteem, Violet made a courtesy
+					quite down to the ground, and stuck one of her few remaining
+					parrot-tail feathers into the back hair of the most pleasing of the
+					Blue-Bottle-Flies; while Slingsby, Guy, and Lionel offered them
+					three small boxes, containing, respectively, black pins, dried figs,
+					and Epsom salts; and thus they left that happy shore forever.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Overcome by their feelings, the four little travellers instantly
+					jumped into the tea-kettle, and fell fast asleep. But all along
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page132" id="page132" title="132"></a>
+					the shore, for many hours, there was distinctly heard a sound of
+					severely-suppressed sobs, and of a vague multitude of living creatures
+					using their pocket-handkerchiefs in a subdued simultaneous
+					snuffle, lingering sadly along the walloping waves as the boat sailed
+					farther and farther away from the Land of the Happy Blue-Bottle-Flies.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Nothing particular occurred for some days after these events,
+					except that, as the travellers were passing a low tract of sand, they
+					perceived an unusual and gratifying spectacle; namely, a large
+					number of Crabs and Crawfish&#8212;perhaps six or seven hundred&#8212;sitting
+					by the water-side, and endeavoring to disentangle a vast
+					heap of pale pink worsted, which they moistened at intervals with
+					a fluid composed of lavender-water and white-wine negus.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"Can we be of any service to you, O crusty Crabbies?" said the
+					four children.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"Thank you kindly," said the Crabs consecutively. "We are
+					trying to make some worsted mittens, but do not know how."
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					On which Violet, who was perfectly acquainted with the art of
+					mitten-making, said to the Crabs, "Do your claws unscrew, or are
+					they fixtures?"
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					"They are all made to unscrew," said the Crabs; and forthwith
+					they deposited a great pile of claws close to the boat, with which
+					Violet uncombed all the pale pink worsted, and then made the loveliest
+					mittens with it you can imagine. These the Crabs, having
+					resumed and screwed on their claws, placed cheerfully upon their
+					wrists, and walked away rapidly on their hind-legs, warbling songs
+					with a silvery voice and in a minor key.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					After this, the four little people sailed on again till they came to
+					a vast and wide plain of astonishing dimensions, on which nothing
+					whatever could be discovered at first; but, as the travellers walked
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page133" id="page133" title="133"></a>
+					onward, there appeared in the extreme and dim distance a single
+					object, which on a nearer approach, and on an accurately cutaneous
+					inspection, seemed to be somebody in a large white wig, sitting on
+					an arm-chair made of sponge-cakes and oyster-shells. "It does not
+					quite look like a human being," said Violet doubtfully; nor could
+					they make out what it really was, till the Quangle-Wangle (who had
+					previously been round the world) exclaimed softly in a loud voice,
+					"It is the co-operative Cauliflower!"
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/154.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					And so, in truth, it was: and they soon found that what they had
+					taken for an immense wig was in reality the top of the Cauliflower;
+					and that he had no feet at all, being able to walk tolerably well with
+					a fluctuating and graceful movement on a single cabbage-stalk,&#8212;an
+					accomplishment which naturally saved him the expense of stockings
+					and shoes.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Presently, while the whole party from the boat was gazing at
+					him with mingled affection and disgust, he suddenly arose, and,
+					in a somewhat plumdomphious manner, hurried off towards the
+					setting sun,&#8212;his steps supported by two superincumbent confidential
+					Cucumbers, and a large number of Waterwagtails proceeding
+					in advance of him by three and three in a row,&#8212;till he finally
+					disappeared on the brink of the western sky in a crystal cloud of
+					sudorific sand.
+					</p>
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page134" id="page134" title="134"></a>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/155.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					So remarkable a sight, of course, impressed the four children very
+					deeply; and they returned immediately to their boat with a strong
+					sense of undeveloped asthma and a great appetite.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Shortly after this, the travellers were obliged to sail directly below
+					some high overhanging rocks, from the top of one of which a particularly
+					odious little boy, dressed in rose-colored knickerbockers,
+					and with a pewter plate upon his head, threw an enormous pumpkin
+					at the boat, by which it was instantly upset.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/156.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					But this upsetting was of no consequence, because all the party
+					knew how to swim very well: and, in fact, they preferred swimming
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page135" id="page135" title="135"></a>
+					about till after the moon rose; when, the water growing chilly, they
+					sponge-taneously entered the boat. Meanwhile the Quangle-Wangle
+					threw back the pumpkin with immense force, so that it hit the rocks
+					where the malicious little boy in rose-colored knickerbockers was
+					sitting; when, being quite full of lucifer-matches, the pumpkin
+					exploded surreptitiously into a thousand bits; whereon the rocks
+					instantly took fire, and the odious little boy became unpleasantly
+					hotter and hotter and hotter, till his knickerbockers were turned
+					quite green, and his nose was burnt off.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Two or three days after this had happened, they came to another
+					place, where they found nothing at all except some wide and deep
+					pits full of mulberry-jam. This is the property of the tiny, yellow-nosed
+					Apes who abound in these districts, and who store up the
+					mulberry-jam for their food in winter, when they mix it with pellucid
+					pale periwinkle-soup, and serve it out in wedgewood china-bowls,
+					which grow freely all over that part of the country. Only
+					one of the yellow-nosed Apes was on the spot, and he was fast
+					asleep; yet the four travellers and the Quangle-Wangle and Pussy
+					were so terrified by the violence and sanguinary sound of his snoring,
+					that they merely took a small cupful of the jam, and returned
+					to re-embark in their boat without delay.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					What was their horror on seeing the boat (including the churn
+					and the tea-kettle) in the mouth of an enormous Seeze Pyder, an
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page136" id="page136" title="136"></a>
+					aquatic and ferocious creature truly dreadful to behold, and,
+					happily, only met with in those excessive longitudes! In a moment,
+					the beautiful boat was bitten into fifty-five thousand million hundred
+					billion bits; and it instantly became quite clear that Violet, Slingsby,
+					Guy, and Lionel could no longer preliminate their voyage by sea.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/157.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					The four travellers were therefore obliged to resolve on pursuing
+					their wanderings by land: and, very fortunately, there happened
+					to pass by at that moment an elderly Rhinoceros, on which they
+					seized; and, all four mounting on his back,&#8212;the Quangle-Wangle
+					sitting on his horn, and holding on by his ears, and the Pussy-Cat
+					swinging at the end of his tail,&#8212;they set off, having only four small
+					beans and three pounds of mashed potatoes to last through their
+					whole journey.
+					</p>
+					<img class="centeredimage" src="images/158.gif" alt="The Story of the Four Little Children who Went Round the World." />
+					<p>
+					They were, however, able to catch numbers of the chickens and
+					turkeys and other birds who incessantly alighted on the head of the
+					Rhinoceros for the purpose of gathering the seeds of the rhododendron-plants which grew there; and these creatures they cooked in
+					the most translucent and satisfactory manner by means of a fire
+					<a class="pagenumber" name="page137" id="page137" title="137"></a>
+					lighted on the end of the Rhinoceros's back. A crowd of Kangaroos
+					and gigantic Cranes accompanied them, from feelings of curiosity
+					and complacency; so that they were never at a loss for company,
+					and went onward, as it were, in a sort of profuse and triumphant
+					procession.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					Thus in less than eighteen weeks they all arrived safely at
+					home, where they were received by their admiring relatives with
+					joy tempered with contempt, and where they finally resolved to
+					carry out the rest of their travelling-plans at some more favorable
+					opportunity.
+					</p>
+					<p>
+					As for the Rhinoceros, in token of their grateful adherence, they
+					had him killed and stuffed directly, and then set him up outside
+					the door of their father's house as a diaphanous doorscraper.

+						by the side of the great Lake Pipple-Popple (one of the seven
+						families, indeed, lived <i>in</i> the lake), and on the outskirts of the city
+						of Tosh, which, excepting when it was quite dark, they could see

+						of; and you have only not to look in your geography-books to
+						find out all about them.

+						<p class="chapterdescription">THE HABITS OF THE SEVEN FAMILIES.</p>
+						<p>
+						The Parrots lived upon the Soffsky-Poffsky trees, which were
+						beautiful to behold, and covered with blue leaves; and they
+						fed upon fruit, artichokes, and striped beetles.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						The Storks walked in and out of the Lake Pipple-Popple, and
+						ate frogs for breakfast, and buttered toast for tea; but on account
+						of the extreme length of their legs they could not sit down, and so
+						they walked about continually.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						The Geese, having webs to their feet, caught quantities of flies,
+						which they ate for dinner.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						The Owls anxiously looked after mice, which they caught, and
+						made into sago-puddings.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						The Guinea Pigs toddled about the gardens, and ate lettuces
+						and Cheshire cheese.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						<a class="pagenumber" name="page142" id="page142" title="142"></a>
+						The Cats sate still in the sunshine, and fed upon sponge biscuits.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						The Fishes lived in the lake, and fed chiefly on boiled periwinkles.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						And all these seven families lived together in the utmost fun and
+						felicity.

+						<p class="chapterdescription">THE CHILDREN OF THE SEVEN FAMILIES ARE SENT AWAY.</p>
+						<p>
+						One day all the seven fathers and the seven mothers of the
+						seven families agreed that they would send their children
+						out to see the world.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So they called them all together, and gave them each eight
+						shillings and some good advice, some chocolate-drops, and a small
+						green morocco pocket-book to set down their expenses in.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						They then particularly entreated them not to quarrel; and all
+						the parents sent off their children with a parting injunction.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						"If," said the old Parrots, "you find a cherry, do not fight
+						about who should have it."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						"And," said the old Storks, "if you find a frog, divide it carefully
+						into seven bits, but on no account quarrel about it."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						And the old Geese said to the seven young Geese, "Whatever
+						you do, be sure you do not touch a plum-pudding flea."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						And the old Owls said, "If you find a mouse, tear him up into
+						seven slices, and eat him cheerfully, but without quarrelling."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						And the old Guinea Pigs said, "Have a care that you eat your
+						lettuces, should you find any, not greedily, but calmly."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						And the old Cats said, "Be particularly careful not to meddle
+						with a clangle-wangle if you should see one."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						<a class="pagenumber" name="page143" id="page143" title="143"></a>
+						And the old Fishes said, "Above all things, avoid eating a blue
+						boss-woss; for they do not agree with fishes, and give them a pain
+						in their toes."
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So all the children of each family thanked their parents; and,
+						making in all forty-nine polite bows, they went into the wide
+						world.

+						<p class="chapterdescription">THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG PARROTS.</p>
+						<p>
+						The seven young Parrots had not gone far, when they saw
+						a tree with a single cherry on it, which the oldest Parrot
+						picked instantly; but the other six, being extremely hungry, tried
+						to get it also. On which all the seven began to fight; and they

+						<p>
+						When the seven young Storks set out, they walked or flew for
+						fourteen weeks in a straight line, and for six weeks more in
+						a crooked one; and after that they ran as hard as they could for
+						one hundred and eight miles; and after that they stood still, and
+						made a himmeltanious chatter-clatter-blattery noise with their bills.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						About the same time they perceived a large frog, spotted with
+						green, and with a sky-blue stripe under each ear.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So, being hungry, they immediately flew at him, and were going
+						to divide him into seven pieces, when they began to quarrel as to
+						which of his legs should be taken off first. One said this, and
+						another said that; and while they were all quarrelling, the frog
+						<a class="pagenumber" name="page145" id="page145" title="145"></a>
+						hopped away. And when they saw that he was gone, they began
+						to chatter-clatter,<br />

+						<span class="i9">patter-blatter,</span>
+						<span class="i11">matter-clatter,</span>

+						more violently than ever; and after they

+						<p>
+						And that was the end of the seven young Storks.

+						<p class="chapterdescription">THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG GEESE.</p>
+						<p>
+						When the seven young Geese began to travel, they went over
+						a large plain, on which there was but one tree, and that was,
+						a very bad one.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						<a class="pagenumber" name="page146" id="page146" title="146"></a>
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So four of them went up to the top of it, and looked about
+						them; while the other three waddled up and down, and repeated
+						poetry, and their last six lessons in arithmetic, geography, and
+						cookery.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						Presently they perceived, a long way off, an object of the most
+						interesting and obese appearance, having a perfectly round body
+						exactly resembling a boiled plum-pudding, with two little wings, and
+						a beak, and three feathers growing out of his head, and only one
+						leg.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So, after a time, all the seven young Geese said to each
+						other, "Beyond all doubt this beast must be a Plum-pudding
+						Flea!"
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						On which they incautiously began to sing aloud,
+						</p>
+						<blockquote>
+						<span class="i12">"Plum-pudding Flea,</span>
+						<span class="i12">Plum-pudding Flea,</span>
+						<span class="i12">Wherever you be,</span>
+						<span class="i12">Oh! come to our tree,</span>
+						<span class="i8">And listen, oh! listen, oh! listen to me!"</span>
+						</blockquote>
+						<p>
+						And no sooner had they sung this verse than the Plum-pudding
+						Flea began to hop and skip on his one leg with the
+						most dreadful velocity, and came straight to the tree, where he
+						stopped, and looked about him in a vacant and voluminous
+						manner.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						On which the seven young Geese were greatly alarmed, and all
+						of a tremble-bemble: so one of them put out his long neck, and
+						just touched him with the tip of his bill; but no sooner had he
+						done this than the Plum-pudding Flea skipped and hopped about
+						more and more, and higher and higher; after which he opened
+						his mouth, and, to the great surprise and indignation of the seven
+						Geese, began to bark so loudly and furiously and terribly, that
+						<a class="pagenumber" name="page147" id="page147" title="147"></a>
+						they were totally unable to bear the noise; and by degrees every
+						one of them suddenly tumbled down quite dead.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						So that was the end of the seven young Geese.

+						<p>
+						And one night, when it was quite dark, they thought they heard

+						perceived at a long distance off a Clangle-Wangle (or, as it is more
+						properly written, Clangel-Wangel); and, in spite of the warning
+						they had had, they ran straight up to it.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						(Now, the Clangle-Wangle is a most dangerous and delusive
+						beast, and by no means commonly to be met with. They live in
+						the water as well as on land, using their long tail as a sail when in
+						the former element. Their speed is extreme; but their habits of
+						life are domestic and superfluous, and their general demeanor pensive
+										<a class="pagenumber" name="page150" id="page150" title="150"></a>
+						and pellucid. On summer evenings, they may sometimes be
+						observed near the Lake Pipple-Popple, standing on their heads, and
+						humming their national melodies. They subsist entirely on vegetables,
+						excepting when they eat veal or mutton or pork or beef or
+						fish or saltpetre.)
+						</p>
+						<p>
+						The moment the Clangle-Wangle saw the seven young Cats approach,

+						seven bottles should be carefully sealed up with the blue sealing-wax
+						they had purchased; and that they themselves, in the bottles,
+						should be presented to the principal museum of the city of Tosh,
+						to be labelled with parchment or any other anti-congenial succedaneum,

+						benefit, of the pusillanimous public.

+			<h3>THREE RECEIPTS FOR DOMESTIC COOKERY.</h3>
+			<hr />
+			<div class="recipe" id="cook1">
+				<h4>TO MAKE AN AMBLONGUS PIE.</h4>
+				<p>
+				Take 4 pounds (say 4&#189; pounds) of fresh Amblongusses, and
+				put them in a small pipkin.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Cover them with water, and boil them for 8 hours incessantly;
+				after which add 2 pints of new milk, and proceed to boil for 4
+				hours more.
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page157" id="page157" title="157"></a>						</p>
+				<p>
+				When you have ascertained that the Amblongusses are quite
+				soft, take them out, and place them in a wide pan, taking care to
+				shake them well previously.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Grate some nutmeg over the surface, and cover them carefully
+				with powdered gingerbread, curry-powder, and a sufficient quantity
+				of Cayenne pepper.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Remove the pan into the next room, and place it on the floor.
+				Bring it back again, and let it simmer for three-quarters of an hour.
+				Shake the pan violently till all the Amblongusses have become of a
+				pale purple color.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Then, having prepared the paste, insert the whole carefully;
+				adding at the same time a small pigeon, 2 slices of beef, 4 cauliflowers,
+				and any number of oysters.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Watch patiently till the crust begins to rise, and add a pinch of
+				salt from time to time.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Serve up in a clean dish, and throw the whole out of window
+				as fast as possible.
+				</p>
+			</div>
+			<hr />
+			<div class="recipe" id="cook2">
+				<h4>TO MAKE CRUMBOBBLIOUS CUTLETS.</h4>
+				<p>
+				Procure some strips of beef, and, having cut them into the
+				smallest possible slices, proceed to cut them still smaller,&#8212;
+				eight, or perhaps nine times.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				When the whole is thus minced, brush it up hastily with a new
+				clothes-brush, and stir round rapidly and capriciously with a salt-spoon
+				or a soup-ladle.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Place the whole in a saucepan, and remove it to a sunny place,
+				&#8212;say the roof of the house, if free from sparrows or other birds,&#8212;
+				and leave it there for about a week.
+				<a class="pagenumber" name="page158" id="page158" title="158"></a>
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				At the end of that time add a little lavender, some oil of almonds,
+				and a few herring-bones; and then cover the whole with
+				4 gallons of clarified Crumbobblious sauce, when it will be ready
+				for use.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Cut it into the shape of ordinary cutlets, and serve up in a clean
+				table-cloth or dinner-napkin.
+				</p>
+			</div>
+			<hr />
+			<div class="recipe" id="cook3">
+				<h4>TO MAKE GOSKY PATTIES.</h4>
+				<p>
+				Take a pig three or four years of age, and tie him by the off
+				hind-leg to a post. Place 5 pounds of currants, 3 of sugar, 2
+				pecks of peas, 18 roast chestnuts, a candle, and 6 bushels of turnips,
+				within his reach: if he eats these, constantly provide him
+				with more.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Then procure some cream, some slices of Cheshire cheese, 4
+				quires of foolscap paper, and a packet of black pins. Work the
+				whole into a paste, and spread it out to dry on a sheet of clean
+				brown waterproof linen.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				When the paste is perfectly dry, but not before, proceed to beat
+				the pig violently with the handle of a large broom. If he squeals,
+				beat him again.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				Visit the paste and beat the pig alternately for some days, and
+				ascertain if, at the end of that period, the whole is about to turn
+				into Gosky Patties.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+				If it does not then, it never will; and in that case the pig
+				may be let loose, and the whole process may be considered as
+				finished.
+				</p>

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS,' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit:
+https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org">https://www.gutenberg.org</a>
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a>
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689
+
+An alternative method of locating eBooks:
+<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL">https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL</a>

+
+                    I.
+
+    The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
+      In a beautiful pea-green boat:
+    They took some honey, and plenty of money
+      Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
+    The Owl looked up to the stars above,
+      And sang to a small guitar,
+   "O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,
+        What a beautiful Pussy you are,
+          You are,
+          You are!
+      What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
+
+
+                    II.
+
+    Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl,
+      How charmingly sweet you sing!
+    Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried:
+      But what shall we do for a ring?"
+    They sailed away, for a year and a day,
+      To the land where the bong-tree grows;
+    And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,
+      With a ring at the end of his nose,
+          His nose,
+          His nose,
+      With a ring at the end of his nose.
+
+
+                    III.
+
+    "Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
+      Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
+    So they took it away, and were married next day
+      By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
+    They dined on mince and slices of quince,
+      Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
+    And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
+      They danced by the light of the moon,
+          The moon,
+          The moon,
+    They danced by the light of the moon.

+
+
+THE DUCK AND THE KANGAROO.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                    I.
+
+    Said the Duck to the Kangaroo,
+       "Good gracious! how you hop
+    Over the fields, and the water too,
+        As if you never would stop!
+    My life is a bore in this nasty pond;
+    And I long to go out in the world beyond:
+        I wish I could hop like you,"
+        Said the Duck to the Kangaroo.
+
+
+                    II.
+
+   "Please give me a ride on your back,"
+        Said the Duck to the Kangaroo:
+   "I would sit quite still, and say nothing but 'Quack'
+        The whole of the long day through;
+    And we 'd go the Dee, and the Jelly Bo Lee,
+    Over the land, and over the sea:
+        Please take me a ride! oh, do!"
+        Said the Duck to the Kangaroo.
+
+              [Illustration]
+
+
+                    III.
+
+    Said the Kangaroo to the Duck,
+       "This requires some little reflection.
+    Perhaps, on the whole, it might bring me luck;
+        And there seems but one objection;
+    Which is, if you'll let me speak so bold,
+    Your feet are unpleasantly wet and cold,
+        And would probably give me the roo-
+        Matiz," said the Kangaroo.
+
+              [Illustration]
+
+
+                    IV.
+
+    Said the Duck, "As I sate on the rocks,
+        I have thought over that completely;
+    And I bought four pairs of worsted socks,
+        Which fit my web-feet neatly;
+    And, to keep out the cold, I've bought a cloak;
+    And every day a cigar I'll smoke;
+        All to follow my own dear true
+        Love of a Kangaroo."
+
+
+                    V.
+
+    Said the Kangaroo, "I'm ready,
+        All in the moonlight pale;
+    But to balance me well, dear Duck, sit steady,
+        And quite at the end of my tail."
+    So away they went with a hop and a bound;
+    And they hopped the whole world three times round.
+        And who so happy, oh! who,
+        As the Duck and the Kangaroo?

+
+THE DADDY LONG-LEGS AND THE FLY.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                    I.
+
+    Once Mr. Daddy Long-legs,
+        Dressed in brown and gray,
+    Walked about upon the sands
+        Upon a summer's day:
+    And there among the pebbles,
+        When the wind was rather cold,
+    He met with Mr. Floppy Fly,
+        All dressed in blue and gold;
+    And, as it was too soon to dine,
+    They drank some periwinkle-wine,
+    And played an hour or two, or more,
+    At battlecock and shuttledore.
+
+
+                    II.
+
+    Said Mr. Daddy Long-legs
+        To Mr. Floppy Fly,
+    "Why do you never come to court?
+        I wish you 'd tell me why.
+    All gold and shine, in dress so fine,
+        You'd quite delight the court.
+    Why do you never go at all?
+        I really think you _ought_.
+    And, if you went, you'd see such sights!
+    Such rugs and jugs and candle-lights!
+    And, more than all, the king and queen,--
+    One in red, and one in green."
+
+
+                    III.
+
+    "O Mr. Daddy Long-legs!"
+        Said Mr. Floppy Fly,
+    "It's true I never go to court;
+        And I will tell you why.
+    If I had six long legs like yours,
+        At once I'd go to court;
+    But, oh! I can't, because _my_ legs
+        Are so extremely short.
+    And I'm afraid the king and queen
+    (One in red, and one in green)
+    Would say aloud, 'You are not fit,
+    You Fly, to come to court a bit!'"
+
+
+                    IV.
+
+    "Oh, Mr. Daddy Long-legs!"
+        Said Mr. Floppy Fly,
+    "I wish you 'd sing one little song,
+        One mumbian melody.
+    You used to sing so awful well
+        In former days gone by;
+    But now you never sing at all:
+        I wish you'd tell me why:
+    For, if you would, the silvery sound
+    Would please the shrimps and cockles round,
+    And all the crabs would gladly come
+    To hear you sing, 'Ah, Hum di Hum!'"
+
+
+                    V.
+
+    Said Mr. Daddy Long-legs,
+       "I can never sing again;
+    And, if you wish, I'll tell you why,
+        Although it gives me pain.
+    For years I cannot hum a bit,
+        Or sing the smallest song;
+    And this the dreadful reason is,--
+        My legs are grown too long!
+    My six long legs, all here and there,
+    Oppress my bosom with despair;
+    And, if I stand or lie or sit,
+    I cannot sing one single bit!"
+
+
+                    VI.
+
+    So Mr. Daddy Long-legs
+        And Mr. Floppy Fly
+    Sat down in silence by the sea,
+        And gazed upon the sky.
+    They said, "This is a dreadful thing!
+        The world has all gone wrong,
+    Since one has legs too short by half,
+        The other much too long.
+    One never more can go to court,
+    Because his legs have grown too short;
+    The other cannot sing a song,
+    Because his legs have grown too long!"
+
+
+                    VII.
+
+    Then Mr. Daddy Long-legs
+        And Mr. Floppy Fly
+    Rushed downward to the foamy sea
+        With one sponge-taneous cry:
+    And there they found a little boat,
+        Whose sails were pink and gray;
+    And off they sailed among the waves,
+        Far and far away:
+    They sailed across the silent main,
+    And reached the great Gromboolian Plain;
+    And there they play forevermore
+    At battlecock and shuttledore.

+
+
+THE JUMBLIES.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                    I.
+
+    They went to sea in a sieve, they did;
+        In a sieve they went to sea:
+    In spite of all their friends could say,
+    On a winter's morn, on a stormy day,
+        In a sieve they went to sea.
+    And when the sieve turned round and round,
+    And every one cried, "You'll all be drowned!"
+    They called aloud, "Our sieve ain't big;
+    But we don't care a button, we don't care a fig:
+        In a sieve we'll go to sea!"
+             Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+             Their heads are green, and their hands are blue
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+                     II.
+
+    They sailed away in a sieve, they did,
+        In a sieve they sailed so fast,
+    With only a beautiful pea-green veil
+    Tied with a ribbon, by way of a sail,
+        To a small tobacco-pipe mast.
+    And every one said who saw them go,
+   "Oh! won't they be soon upset, you know?
+    For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long;
+    And, happen what may, it's extremely wrong
+        In a sieve to sail so fast."
+            Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+            Their heads are green, and their hands are blue;
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+                     III.
+
+    The water it soon came in, it did;
+        The water it soon came in:
+    So, to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
+        In a pinky paper all folded neat;
+    And they fastened it down with a pin.
+    And they passed the night in a crockery-jar;
+    And each of them said, "How wise we are!
+    Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,
+    Yet we never can think we were rash or wrong,
+        While round in our sieve we spin."
+            Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+            Their heads are green, and their hands are blue;
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+    And all night long they sailed away;
+        And when the sun went down,
+    They whistled and warbled a moony song
+        To the echoing sound of a coppery gong,
+    In the shade of the mountains brown.
+   "O Timballoo! How happy we are
+    When we live in a sieve and a crockery-jar!
+    And all night long, in the moonlight pale,
+    We sail away with a pea-green sail
+        In the shade of the mountains brown."
+            Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+            Their heads are green, and their hands are blue;
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+                     V.
+
+    They sailed to the Western Sea, they did,--
+        To a land all covered with trees:
+    And they bought an owl, and a useful cart,
+        And a pound of rice, and a cranberry-tart,
+    And a hive of silvery bees;
+    And they bought a pig, and some green jackdaws,
+    And a lovely monkey with lollipop paws,
+    And forty bottles of ring-bo-ree,
+        And no end of Stilton cheese.
+            Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+            Their heads are green, and their hands are blue;
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.
+
+
+                     VI.
+
+    And in twenty years they all came back,--
+        In twenty years or more;
+    And every one said, "How tall they've grown!
+        For they've been to the Lakes, and the Torrible Zone,
+    And the hills of the Chankly Bore."
+    And they drank their health, and gave them a feast
+    Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast;
+    And every one said, "If we only live,
+    We, too, will go to sea in a sieve,
+        To the hills of the Chankly Bore."
+            Far and few, far and few,
+        Are the lands where the Jumblies live:
+            Their heads are green, and their hands are blue;
+        And they went to sea in a sieve.

+
+
+
+THE NUTCRACKERS AND THE SUGAR-TONGS.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                     I.
+
+    The Nutcrackers sate by a plate on the table;
+        The Sugar-tongs sate by a plate at his side;
+    And the Nutcrackers said, "Don't you wish we were able
+        Along the blue hills and green meadows to ride?
+    Must we drag on this stupid existence forever,
+        So idle and weary, so full of remorse,
+    While every one else takes his pleasure, and never
+        Seems happy unless he is riding a horse?
+
+
+                     II.
+
+    "Don't you think we could ride without being instructed,
+        Without any saddle or bridle or spur?
+    Our legs are so long, and so aptly constructed,
+        I'm sure that an accident could not occur.
+    Let us all of a sudden hop down from the table,
+        And hustle downstairs, and each jump on a horse!
+    Shall we try? Shall we go? Do you think we are able?"
+        The Sugar-tongs answered distinctly, "Of course!"
+
+
+                     III.
+
+    So down the long staircase they hopped in a minute;
+        The Sugar-tongs snapped, and the Crackers said "Crack!"
+    The stable was open; the horses were in it:
+        Each took out a pony, and jumped on his back.
+    The Cat in a fright scrambled out of the doorway;
+        The Mice tumbled out of a bundle of hay;
+    The brown and white Rats, and the black ones from Norway,
+        Screamed out, "They are taking the horses away!"
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+    The whole of the household was filled with amazement:
+        The Cups and the Saucers danced madly about;
+    The Plates and the Dishes looked out of the casement;
+        The Salt-cellar stood on his head with a shout;
+    The Spoons, with a clatter, looked out of the lattice;
+        The Mustard-pot climbed up the gooseberry-pies;
+    The Soup-ladle peeped through a heap of veal-patties,
+        And squeaked with a ladle-like scream of surprise.
+
+
+                     V.
+
+    The Frying-pan said, "It's an awful delusion!"
+        The Tea-kettle hissed, and grew black in the face;
+    And they all rushed downstairs in the wildest confusion
+        To see the great Nutcracker-Sugar-tong race.
+    And out of the stable, with screamings and laughter
+        (Their ponies were cream-colored, speckled with brown),
+    The Nutcrackers first, and the Sugar-tongs after;
+        Rode all round the yard, and then all round the town.
+
+
+                     VI.
+
+    They rode through the street, and they rode by the station;
+        They galloped away to the beautiful shore;
+    In silence they rode, and "made no observation,"
+        Save this: "We will never go back any more!"
+    And still you might hear, till they rode out of hearing,
+        The Sugar-tongs snap, and the Crackers say "Crack!"
+    Till, far in the distance their forms disappearing,
+        They faded away; and they never came back!
+
+
+
+
+CALICO PIE.

+
+                     I.
+
+      Calico pie,
+      The little birds fly
+    Down to the calico-tree:
+      Their wings were blue,
+      And they sang "Tilly-loo!"
+      Till away they flew;
+        And they never came back to me!
+          They never came back,
+          They never came back,

+      Calico jam,
+      The little Fish swam
+    Over the Syllabub Sea.
+      He took off his hat
+      To the Sole and the Sprat,
+      And the Willeby-wat:
+        But he never came back to me;
+          He never came back,
+          He never came back,
+        He never came back to me.

+
+      Calico ban,
+      The little Mice ran
+    To be ready in time for tea;
+      Flippity flup,
+      They drank it all up,
+      And danced in the cup:
+        But they never came back to me;
+          They never came back,
+          They never came back,
+        They never came back to me.

+MR. AND MRS. SPIKKY SPARROW.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                     I.
+
+    On a little piece of wood
+    Mr. Spikky Sparrow stood:
+    Mrs. Sparrow sate close by,
+    A-making of an insect-pie
+    For her little children five,
+    In the nest and all alive;
+    Singing with a cheerful smile,
+    To amuse them all the while,
+       "Twikky wikky wikky wee,
+        Wikky bikky twikky tee,
+            Spikky bikky bee!"
+
+
+                     II.
+
+    Mrs. Spikky Sparrow said,
+    "Spikky, darling! in my head
+    Many thoughts of trouble come,
+    Like to flies upon a plum.
+    All last night, among the trees,
+    I heard you cough, I heard you sneeze;
+    And thought I, 'It's come to that
+    Because he does not wear a hat!'
+        Chippy wippy sikky tee,
+        Bikky wikky tikky mee,
+            Spikky chippy wee!
+
+
+                     III.
+
+    "Not that you are growing old;
+    But the nights are growing cold.
+    No one stays out all night long
+    Without a hat: I'm sure it's wrong!"
+    Mr. Spikky said, "How kind,
+    Dear, you are, to speak your mind!
+    All your life I wish you luck!
+    You are, you are, a lovely duck!
+        Witchy witchy witchy wee,
+        Twitchy witchy witchy bee,
+            Tikky tikky tee!
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+    "I was also sad, and thinking,
+    When one day I saw you winking,
+    And I heard you sniffle-snuffle,
+    And I saw your feathers ruffle:
+    To myself I sadly said,
+    'She's neuralgia in her head!
+    That dear head has nothing on it!
+    Ought she not to wear a bonnet?'
+        Witchy kitchy kitchy wee,
+        Spikky wikky mikky bee,
+            Chippy wippy chee!
+
+
+                     V.
+
+    "Let us both fly up to town:
+    There I'll buy you such a gown!
+    Which, completely in the fashion,
+    You shall tie a sky-blue sash on;
+    And a pair of slippers neat
+    To fit your darling little feet,
+    So that you will look and feel
+    Quite galloobious and genteel.
+        Jikky wikky bikky see,
+        Chicky bikky wikky bee,
+            Twicky witchy wee!"
+
+
+                     VI.
+
+    So they both to London went,
+    Alighting on the Monument;
+    Whence they flew down swiftly--pop!
+    Into Moses' wholesale shop:
+    There they bought a hat and bonnet,
+    And a gown with spots upon it,
+    A satin sash of Cloxam blue,
+    And a pair of slippers too.
+        Zikky wikky mikky bee,
+        Witchy witchy mitchy kee,
+            Sikky tikky wee!
+
+
+                     VII.
+
+    Then, when so completely dressed,
+    Back they flew, and reached their nest.
+    Their children cried, "O ma and pa!
+    How truly beautiful you are!"
+    Said they, "We trust that cold or pain
+    We shall never feel again;
+    While, perched on tree or house or steeple,
+    We now shall look like other people.
+        Witchy witchy witchy wee,
+        Twikky mikky bikky bee,
+            Zikky sikky tee!"

+
+    The Broom and the Shovel, the Poker and Tongs,
+      They all took a drive in the Park;
+    And they each sang a song, ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!
+      Before they went back in the dark.
+    Mr. Poker he sate quite upright in the coach;
+      Mr. Tongs made a clatter and clash;
+    Miss Shovel was dressed all in black (with a brooch);
+      Mrs. Broom was in blue (with a sash).
+        Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!
+        And they all sang a song.
+
+
+                     II.
+
+   "O Shovely so lovely!" the Poker he sang,
+     "You have perfectly conquered my heart.
+    Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong! If you're pleased with my song,
+      I will feed you with cold apple-tart.
+    When you scrape up the coals with a delicate sound,
+      You enrapture my life with delight,
+    Your nose is so shiny, your head is so round,
+      And your shape is so slender and bright!
+        Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!
+        Ain't you pleased with my song?"
+
+
+                     III.
+
+   "Alas! Mrs. Broom," sighed the Tongs in his song,
+     "Oh! is it because I'm so thin,
+    And my legs are so long,--ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!--
+      That you don't care about me a pin?
+    Ah! fairest of creatures, when sweeping the room,
+      Ah! why don't you heed my complaint?
+    Must you needs be so cruel, you beautiful Broom,
+      Because you are covered with paint?
+        Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!
+        You are certainly wrong."
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+    Mrs. Broom and Miss Shovel together they sang,
+     "What nonsense you're singing to-day!"
+    Said the Shovel, "I'll certainly hit you a bang!"
+      Said the Broom, "And I'll sweep you away!"
+    So the coachman drove homeward as fast as he could,
+      Perceiving their anger with pain;
+    But they put on the kettle, and little by little
+      They all became happy again.
+        Ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong!
+        There's an end of my song.

+THE TABLE AND THE CHAIR.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                     I.
+
+    Said the Table to the Chair,
+    "You can hardly be aware
+    How I suffer from the heat
+    And from chilblains on my feet.
+    If we took a little walk,
+    We might have a little talk;
+    Pray let us take the air,"
+    Said the Table to the Chair.
+
+
+                     II.
+
+    Said the Chair unto the Table,
+    "Now, you _know_ we are not able:
+    How foolishly you talk,
+    When you know we _cannot_ walk!"
+    Said the Table with a sigh,
+    "It can do no harm to try.
+    I've as many legs as you:
+    Why can't we walk on two?"
+
+
+                     III.
+
+    So they both went slowly down,
+    And walked about the town
+    With a cheerful bumpy sound
+    As they toddled round and round;
+    And everybody cried,
+    As they hastened to their side,
+    "See! the Table and the Chair
+    Have come out to take the air!"
+
+
+                     IV.
+
+    But in going down an alley,
+    To a castle in a valley,
+    They completely lost their way,
+    And wandered all the day;
+    Till, to see them safely back,
+    They paid a Ducky-quack,
+    And a Beetle, and a Mouse,
+    Who took them to their house.
+
+              [Illustration]

+
+                     V.
+
+    Then they whispered to each other,
+    "O delightful little brother,
+    What a lovely walk we've taken!
+    Let us dine on beans and bacon."
+    So the Ducky and the leetle
+    Browny-Mousy and the Beetle
+    Dined, and danced upon their heads
+    Till they toddled to their beds.

+NONSENSE STORIES.
+
+
+THE STORY OF THE FOUR LITTLE CHILDREN WHO WENT ROUND THE WORLD.
+
+Once upon a time, a long while ago, there were four little people whose
+names were
+
+[Illustration]
+
+VIOLET, SLINGSBY, GUY, and LIONEL;
+and they all thought they should like to see the world. So they bought a
+large boat to sail quite round the world by sea, and then they were to come
+back on the other side by land. The boat was painted blue with green spots,
+and the sail was yellow with red stripes: and, when they set off, they only
+took a small Cat to steer and look after the boat, besides an elderly
+Quangle-Wangle, who had to cook the dinner and make the tea; for which
+purposes they took a large kettle.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+For the first ten days they sailed on beautifully, and found plenty to eat,
+as there were lots of fish; and they had only to take them out of the sea
+with a long spoon, when the Quangle-Wangle instantly cooked them; and the
+Pussy-Cat was fed with the bones, with which she expressed herself pleased,
+on the whole: so that all the party were very happy.
+
+During the daytime, Violet chiefly occupied herself in putting salt water
+into a churn; while her three brothers churned it violently, in the hope
+that it would turn into butter, which it seldom if ever did; and in the
+evening they all retired into the tea-kettle, where they all managed to
+sleep very comfortably, while Pussy and the Quangle-Wangle managed the
+boat.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After a time, they saw some land at a distance; and, when they came to it,
+they found it was an island made of water quite surrounded by earth.
+Besides that, it was bordered by evanescent isthmuses, with a great
+gulf-stream running about all over it; so that it was perfectly beautiful,
+and contained only a single tree, 503 feet high.
+
+When they had landed, they walked about, but found, to their great
+surprise, that the island was quite full of veal-cutlets and
+chocolate-drops, and nothing else. So they all climbed up the single high
+tree to discover, if possible, if there were any people; but having
+remained on the top of the tree for a week, and not seeing anybody, they
+naturally concluded that there were no inhabitants; and accordingly, when
+they came down, they loaded the boat with two thousand veal-cutlets and a
+million of chocolate-drops; and these afforded them sustenance for more
+than a month, during which time they pursued their voyage with the utmost
+delight and apathy.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After this they came to a shore where there were no less than sixty-five
+great red parrots with blue tails, sitting on a rail all of a row, and all
+fast asleep. And I am sorry to say that the Pussy-Cat and the
+Quangle-Wangle crept softly, and bit off the tail-feathers of all the
+sixty-five parrots; for which Violet reproved them both severely.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Notwithstanding which, she proceeded to insert all the feathers--two
+hundred and sixty in number--in her bonnet; thereby causing it to have a
+lovely and glittering appearance, highly prepossessing and efficacious.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The next thing that happened to them was in a narrow part of the sea, which
+was so entirely full of fishes that the boat could go on no farther: so
+they remained there about six weeks, till they had eaten nearly all the
+fishes, which were soles, and all ready-cooked, and covered with
+shrimp-sauce, so that there was no trouble whatever. And as the few fishes
+who remained uneaten complained of the cold, as well as of the difficulty
+they had in getting any sleep on account of the extreme noise made by the
+arctic bears and the tropical turnspits, which frequented the neighborhood
+in great numbers, Violet most amiably knitted a small woollen frock for
+several of the fishes, and Slingsby administered some opium-drops to them;
+through which kindness they became quite warm, and slept soundly.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Then they came to a country which was wholly covered with immense
+orange-trees of a vast size, and quite full of fruit. So they all landed,
+taking with them the tea-kettle, intending to gather some of the oranges,
+and place them in it. But, while they were busy about this, a most
+dreadfully high wind rose, and blew out most of the parrot-tail feathers
+from Violet's bonnet. That, however, was nothing compared with the calamity
+of the oranges falling down on their heads by millions and millions, which
+thumped and bumped and bumped and thumped them all so seriously, that they
+were obliged to run as hard as they could for their lives; besides that the
+sound of the oranges rattling on the tea-kettle was of the most fearful and
+amazing nature.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Nevertheless, they got safely to the boat, although considerably vexed and
+hurt; and the Quangle-Wangle's right foot was so knocked about, that he had
+to sit with his head in his slipper for at least a week.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+This event made them all for a time rather melancholy: and perhaps they
+might never have become less so, had not Lionel, with a most praiseworthy
+devotion and perseverance, continued to stand on one leg, and whistle to
+them in a loud and lively manner; which diverted the whole party so
+extremely that they gradually recovered their spirits, and agreed that
+whenever they should reach home, they would subscribe towards a testimonial
+to Lionel, entirely made of gingerbread and raspberries, as an earnest
+token of their sincere and grateful infection.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After sailing on calmly for several more days, they came to another
+country, where they were much pleased and surprised to see a countless
+multitude of white Mice with red eyes, all sitting in a great circle,
+slowly eating custard-pudding with the most satisfactory and polite
+demeanor.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+And as the four travellers were rather hungry, being tired of eating
+nothing but soles and oranges for so long a period, they held a council as
+to the propriety of asking the Mice for some of their pudding in a humble
+and affecting manner, by which they could hardly be otherwise than
+gratified. It was agreed, therefore, that Guy should go and ask the Mice,
+which he immediately did; and the result was, that they gave a walnut-shell
+only half full of custard diluted with water. Now, this displeased Guy, who
+said, "Out of such a lot of pudding as you have got, I must say, you might
+have spared a somewhat larger quantity." But no sooner had he finished
+speaking than the Mice turned round at once, and sneezed at him in an
+appalling and vindictive manner (and it is impossible to imagine a more
+scroobious and unpleasant sound than that caused by the simultaneous
+sneezing of many millions of angry Mice); so that Guy rushed back to the
+boat, having first shied his cap into the middle of the custard-pudding, by
+which means he completely spoiled the Mice's dinner.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+By and by the four children came to a country where there were no houses,
+but only an incredibly innumerable number of large bottles without corks,
+and of a dazzling and sweetly susceptible blue color. Each of these blue
+bottles contained a Blue-Bottle-Fly; and all these interesting animals live
+continually together in the most copious and rural harmony: nor perhaps in
+many parts of the world is such perfect and abject happiness to be found.
+Violet and Slingsby and Guy and Lionel were greatly struck with this
+singular and instructive settlement; and, having previously asked
+permission of the Blue-Bottle-Flies (which was most courteously granted),
+the boat was drawn up to the shore, and they proceeded to make tea in front
+of the bottles: but as they had no tea-leaves, they merely placed some
+pebbles in the hot water; and the Quangle-Wangle played some tunes over it
+on an accordion, by which, of course, tea was made directly, and of the
+very best quality.
+
+The four children then entered into conversation with the
+Blue-Bottle-Flies, who discoursed in a placid and genteel manner, though
+with a slightly buzzing accent, chiefly owing to the fact that they each
+held a small clothes-brush between their teeth, which naturally occasioned
+a fizzy, extraneous utterance.
+
+"Why," said Violet, "would you kindly inform us, do you reside in bottles;
+and, if in bottles at all, why not, rather, in green or purple, or, indeed,
+in yellow bottles?"
+
+To which questions a very aged Blue-Bottle-Fly answered, "We found the
+bottles here all ready to live in; that is to say, our great-great-great-
+great-great-grandfathers did: so we occupied them at once. And, when the
+winter comes on, we turn the bottles upside down, and consequently rarely
+feel the cold at all; and you know very well that this could not be the
+case with bottles of any other color than blue."
+
+"Of course it could not," said Slingsby. "But, if we may take the liberty
+of inquiring, on what do you chiefly subsist?"
+
+"Mainly on oyster-patties," said the Blue-Bottle-Fly; "and, when these are
+scarce, on raspberry vinegar and Russian leather boiled down to a jelly."
+
+"How delicious!" said Guy.
+
+To which Lionel added, "Huzz!" And all the Blue-Bottle-Flies said, "Buzz!"
+
+At this time, an elderly Fly said it was the hour for the evening-song to
+be sung; and, on a signal being given, all the Blue-Bottle-Flies began to
+buzz at once in a sumptuous and sonorous manner, the melodious and
+mucilaginous sounds echoing all over the waters, and resounding across the
+tumultuous tops of the transitory titmice upon the intervening and verdant
+mountains with a serene and sickly suavity only known to the truly
+virtuous. The Moon was shining slobaciously from the star-bespangled sky,
+while her light irrigated the smooth and shiny sides and wings and backs of
+the Blue-Bottle-Flies with a peculiar and trivial splendor, while all
+Nature cheerfully responded to the cerulean and conspicuous circumstances.
+
+In many long-after years, the four little travellers looked back to that
+evening as one of the happiest in all their lives; and it was already past
+midnight when--the sail of the boat having been set up by the
+Quangle-Wangle, the tea-kettle and churn placed in their respective
+positions, and the Pussy-Cat stationed at the helm--the children each took
+a last and affectionate farewell of the Blue-Bottle-Flies, who walked down
+in a body to the water's edge to see the travellers embark.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+As a token of parting respect and esteem, Violet made a courtesy quite down
+to the ground, and stuck one of her few remaining parrot-tail feathers into
+the back hair of the most pleasing of the Blue-Bottle-Flies; while
+Slingsby, Guy, and Lionel offered them three small boxes, containing,
+respectively, black pins, dried figs, and Epsom salts; and thus they left
+that happy shore forever.
+
+Overcome by their feelings, the four little travellers instantly jumped
+into the tea-kettle, and fell fast asleep. But all along the shore, for
+many hours, there was distinctly heard a sound of severely-suppressed sobs,
+and of a vague multitude of living creatures using their
+pocket-handkerchiefs in a subdued simultaneous snuffle, lingering sadly
+along the walloping waves as the boat sailed farther and farther away from
+the Land of the Happy Blue-Bottle-Flies.
+
+Nothing particular occurred for some days after these events, except that,
+as the travellers were passing a low tract of sand, they perceived an
+unusual and gratifying spectacle; namely, a large number of Crabs and
+Crawfish--perhaps six or seven hundred--sitting by the water-side, and
+endeavoring to disentangle a vast heap of pale pink worsted, which they
+moistened at intervals with a fluid composed of lavender-water and
+white-wine negus.
+
+"Can we be of any service to you, O crusty Crabbies?" said the four
+children.
+
+"Thank you kindly," said the Crabs consecutively. "We are trying to make
+some worsted mittens, but do not know how."
+
+On which Violet, who was perfectly acquainted with the art of
+mitten-making, said to the Crabs, "Do your claws unscrew, or are they
+fixtures?"
+
+"They are all made to unscrew," said the Crabs; and forthwith they
+deposited a great pile of claws close to the boat, with which Violet
+uncombed all the pale pink worsted, and then made the loveliest mittens
+with it you can imagine. These the Crabs, having resumed and screwed on
+their claws, placed cheerfully upon their wrists, and walked away rapidly
+on their hind-legs, warbling songs with a silvery voice and in a minor key.
+
+After this, the four little people sailed on again till they came to a vast
+and wide plain of astonishing dimensions, on which nothing whatever could
+be discovered at first; but, as the travellers walked onward, there
+appeared in the extreme and dim distance a single object, which on a nearer
+approach, and on an accurately cutaneous inspection, seemed to be somebody
+in a large white wig, sitting on an arm-chair made of sponge-cakes and
+oyster-shells. "It does not quite look like a human being," said Violet
+doubtfully; nor could they make out what it really was, till the
+Quangle-Wangle (who had previously been round the world) exclaimed softly
+in a loud voice, "It is the co-operative Cauliflower!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+And so, in truth, it was: and they soon found that what they had taken for
+an immense wig was in reality the top of the Cauliflower; and that he had
+no feet at all, being able to walk tolerably well with a fluctuating and
+graceful movement on a single cabbage-stalk,--an accomplishment which
+naturally saved him the expense of stockings and shoes.
+
+Presently, while the whole party from the boat was gazing at him with
+mingled affection and disgust, he suddenly arose, and, in a somewhat
+plumdomphious manner, hurried off towards the setting sun,--his steps
+supported by two superincumbent confidential Cucumbers, and a large number
+of Waterwagtails proceeding in advance of him by three and three in a
+row,--till he finally disappeared on the brink of the western sky in a
+crystal cloud of sudorific sand.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+So remarkable a sight, of course, impressed the four children very deeply;
+and they returned immediately to their boat with a strong sense of
+undeveloped asthma and a great appetite.
+
+Shortly after this, the travellers were obliged to sail directly below some
+high overhanging rocks, from the top of one of which a particularly odious
+little boy, dressed in rose-colored knickerbockers, and with a pewter plate
+upon his head, threw an enormous pumpkin at the boat, by which it was
+instantly upset.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+But this upsetting was of no consequence, because all the party knew how to
+swim very well: and, in fact, they preferred swimming about till after the
+moon rose; when, the water growing chilly, they sponge-taneously entered
+the boat. Meanwhile the Quangle-Wangle threw back the pumpkin with immense
+force, so that it hit the rocks where the malicious little boy in
+rose-colored knickerbockers was sitting; when, being quite full of
+lucifer-matches, the pumpkin exploded surreptitiously into a thousand bits;
+whereon the rocks instantly took fire, and the odious little boy became
+unpleasantly hotter and hotter and hotter, till his knickerbockers were
+turned quite green, and his nose was burnt off.
+
+Two or three days after this had happened, they came to another place,
+where they found nothing at all except some wide and deep pits full of
+mulberry-jam. This is the property of the tiny, yellow-nosed Apes who
+abound in these districts, and who store up the mulberry-jam for their food
+in winter, when they mix it with pellucid pale periwinkle-soup, and serve
+it out in wedgewood china-bowls, which grow freely all over that part of
+the country. Only one of the yellow-nosed Apes was on the spot, and he was
+fast asleep; yet the four travellers and the Quangle-Wangle and Pussy were
+so terrified by the violence and sanguinary sound of his snoring, that they
+merely took a small cupful of the jam, and returned to re-embark in their
+boat without delay.
+
+What was their horror on seeing the boat (including the churn and the
+tea-kettle) in the mouth of an enormous Seeze Pyder, an aquatic and
+ferocious creature truly dreadful to behold, and, happily, only met with in
+those excessive longitudes! In a moment, the beautiful boat was bitten into
+fifty-five thousand million hundred billion bits; and it instantly became
+quite clear that Violet, Slingsby, Guy, and Lionel could no longer
+preliminate their voyage by sea.
+
+The four travellers were therefore obliged to resolve on pursuing their
+wanderings by land: and, very fortunately, there happened to pass by at
+that moment an elderly Rhinoceros, on which they seized; and, all four
+mounting on his back,--the Quangle-Wangle sitting on his horn, and holding
+on by his ears, and the Pussy-Cat swinging at the end of his tail,--they
+set off, having only four small beans and three pounds of mashed potatoes
+to last through their whole journey.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+They were, however, able to catch numbers of the chickens and turkeys and
+other birds who incessantly alighted on the head of the Rhinoceros for the
+purpose of gathering the seeds of the rhododendron-plants which grew
+there; and these creatures they cooked in the most translucent and
+satisfactory manner by means of a fire lighted on the end of the
+Rhinoceros's back. A crowd of Kangaroos and gigantic Cranes accompanied
+them, from feelings of curiosity and complacency; so that they were never
+at a loss for company, and went onward, as it were, in a sort of profuse
+and triumphant procession.
+
+Thus in less than eighteen weeks they all arrived safely at home, where
+they were received by their admiring relatives with joy tempered with
+contempt, and where they finally resolved to carry out the rest of their
+travelling-plans at some more favorable opportunity.
+
+As for the Rhinoceros, in token of their grateful adherence, they had him
+killed and stuffed directly, and then set him up outside the door of their
+father's house as a diaphanous doorscraper.

+
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN FAMILIES OF
+THE LAKE PIPPLE-POPPLE.
+
+
+CHAPTER I.
+
+INTRODUCTORY.
+
+In former days,--that is to say, once upon a time,--there lived in the Land
+of Gramble-Blamble seven families. They lived by the side of the great Lake
+Pipple-Popple (one of the seven families, indeed, lived _in_ the lake), and
+on the outskirts of the city of Tosh, which, excepting when it was quite
+dark, they could see plainly. The names of all these places you have
+probably heard of; and you have only not to look in your geography-books to
+find out all about them.
+
+Now, the seven families who lived on the borders of the great Lake
+Pipple-Popple were as follows in the next chapter.
+
+
+CHAPTER II.
+
+THE SEVEN FAMILIES.
+
+There was a family of two old Parrots and seven young Parrots.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+There was a family of two old Storks and seven young Storks.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+There was a family of two old Geese and seven young Geese.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+There was a family of two old Owls and seven young Owls.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+There was a family of two old Guinea Pigs and seven young Guinea Pigs.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+There was a family of two old Cats and seven young Cats.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+And there was a family of two old Fishes and seven young Fishes.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER III.
+
+THE HABITS OF THE SEVEN FAMILIES.
+
+The Parrots lived upon the Soffsky-Poffsky trees, which were beautiful to
+behold, and covered with blue leaves; and they fed upon fruit, artichokes,
+and striped beetles.
+
+The Storks walked in and out of the Lake Pipple-Popple, and ate frogs for
+breakfast, and buttered toast for tea; but on account of the extreme length
+of their legs they could not sit down, and so they walked about
+continually.
+
+The Geese, having webs to their feet, caught quantities of flies, which
+they ate for dinner.
+
+The Owls anxiously looked after mice, which they caught, and made into
+sago-puddings.
+
+The Guinea Pigs toddled about the gardens, and ate lettuces and Cheshire
+cheese.
+
+The Cats sate still in the sunshine, and fed upon sponge biscuits.
+
+The Fishes lived in the lake, and fed chiefly on boiled periwinkles.
+
+And all these seven families lived together in the utmost fun and felicity.
+
+
+CHAPTER IV.
+
+THE CHILDREN OF THE SEVEN FAMILIES ARE SENT AWAY.
+
+One day all the seven fathers and the seven mothers of the seven families
+agreed that they would send their children out to see the world.
+
+So they called them all together, and gave them each eight shillings and
+some good advice, some chocolate-drops, and a small green morocco
+pocket-book to set down their expenses in.
+
+They then particularly entreated them not to quarrel; and all the parents
+sent off their children with a parting injunction.
+
+"If," said the old Parrots, "you find a cherry, do not fight about who
+should have it."
+
+"And," said the old Storks, "if you find a frog, divide it carefully into
+seven bits, but on no account quarrel about it."
+
+And the old Geese said to the seven young Geese, "Whatever you do, be sure
+you do not touch a plum-pudding flea."
+
+And the old Owls said, "If you find a mouse, tear him up into seven slices,
+and eat him cheerfully, but without quarrelling."
+
+And the old Guinea Pigs said, "Have a care that you eat your lettuces,
+should you find any, not greedily, but calmly."
+
+And the old Cats said, "Be particularly careful not to meddle with a
+clangle-wangle if you should see one."
+
+And the old Fishes said, "Above all things, avoid eating a blue boss-woss;
+for they do not agree with fishes, and give them a pain in their toes."
+
+So all the children of each family thanked their parents; and, making in
+all forty-nine polite bows, they went into the wide world.
+
+
+
+CHAPTER V.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG PARROTS.
+
+The seven young Parrots had not gone far, when they saw a tree with a
+single cherry on it, which the oldest Parrot picked instantly; but the
+other six, being extremely hungry, tried to get it also. On which all the
+seven began to fight; and they
+scuffled,
+     and huffled,
+       and ruffled,
+         and shuffled,
+           and puffled,
+             and muffled,
+               and buffled,
+                 and duffled,
+                   and fluffled,
+                     and guffled,
+                       and bruffled,
+                         and screamed, and shrieked, and squealed,
+and squeaked, and clawed, and snapped, and bit, and bumped, and thumped,
+and dumped, and flumped each other, till they were all torn into little
+bits; and at last there was nothing left to record this painful incident
+except the cherry and seven small green feathers.
+
+And that was the vicious and voluble end of the seven young Parrots.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER VI.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG STORKS.
+
+When the seven young Storks set out, they walked or flew for fourteen weeks
+in a straight line, and for six weeks more in a crooked one; and after that
+they ran as hard as they could for one hundred and eight miles; and after
+that they stood still, and made a himmeltanious chatter-clatter-blattery
+noise with their bills.
+
+About the same time they perceived a large frog, spotted with green, and
+with a sky-blue stripe under each ear.
+
+So, being hungry, they immediately flew at him, and were going to divide
+him into seven pieces, when they began to quarrel as to which of his legs
+should be taken off first. One said this, and another said that; and while
+they were all quarrelling, the frog hopped away. And when they saw that he
+was gone, they began to
+  chatter-clatter,
+      blatter-platter,
+          patter-blatter,
+              matter-clatter,
+                  flatter-quatter,
+more violently than ever; and after they
+had fought for a week, they pecked each other all to little pieces, so that
+at last nothing was left of any of them except their bills.
+
+And that was the end of the seven young Storks.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER VII.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG GEESE.
+
+When the seven young Geese began to travel, they went over a large plain,
+on which there was but one tree, and that was, a very bad one.
+
+So four of them went up to the top of it, and looked about them; while the
+other three waddled up and down, and repeated poetry, and their last six
+lessons in arithmetic, geography, and cookery.
+
+Presently they perceived, a long way off, an object of the most interesting
+and obese appearance, having a perfectly round body exactly resembling a
+boiled plum-pudding, with two little wings, and a beak, and three feathers
+growing out of his head, and only one leg.
+
+So, after a time, all the seven young Geese said to each other, "Beyond all
+doubt this beast must be a Plum-pudding Flea!"
+
+On which they incautiously began to sing aloud,
+
+       "Plum-pudding Flea,
+        Plum-pudding Flea,
+        Wherever you be,
+        Oh! come to our tree,
+    And listen, oh! listen, oh! listen to me!"
+
+And no sooner had they sung this verse than the Plum-pudding Flea began to
+hop and skip on his one leg with the most dreadful velocity, and came
+straight to the tree, where he stopped, and looked about him in a vacant
+and voluminous manner.
+
+On which the seven young Geese were greatly alarmed, and all of a
+tremble-bemble: so one of them put out his long neck, and just touched him
+with the tip of his bill; but no sooner had he done this than the
+Plum-pudding Flea skipped and hopped about more and more, and higher and
+higher; after which he opened his mouth, and, to the great surprise and
+indignation of the seven Geese, began to bark so loudly and furiously and
+terribly, that they were totally unable to bear the noise; and by degrees
+every one of them suddenly tumbled down quite dead.
+
+So that was the end of the seven young Geese.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER VIII.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG OWLS.
+
+When the seven young Owls set out, they sate every now and then on the
+branches of old trees, and never went far at one time.
+
+And one night, when it was quite dark, they thought they heard a mouse;
+but, as the gas-lamps were not lighted, they could not see him.
+
+So they called out, "Is that a mouse?"
+
+On which a mouse answered, "Squeaky-peeky-weeky! yes, it is!"
+
+And immediately all the young Owls threw themselves off the tree, meaning
+to alight on the ground; but they did not perceive that there was a large
+well below them, into which they all fell superficially, and were every one
+of them drowned in less than half a minute.
+
+So that was the end of the seven young Owls.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER IX.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG GUINEA PIGS.
+
+The seven young Guinea Pigs went into a garden full of goose-berry-bushes
+and tiggory-trees, under one of which they fell asleep. When they awoke,
+they saw a large lettuce, which had grown out of the ground while they had
+been sleeping, and which had an immense number of green leaves. At which
+they all exclaimed,--
+
+   "Lettuce! O lettuce
+    Let us, O let us,
+    O lettuce-leaves,
+    O let us leave this tree, and eat
+    Lettuce, O let us, lettuce-leaves!"
+
+And instantly the seven young Guinea Pigs rushed with such extreme force
+against the lettuce-plant, and hit their heads so vividly against its
+stalk, that the concussion brought on directly an incipient transitional
+inflammation of their noses, which grew worse and worse and worse and
+worse, till it incidentally killed them all seven.
+
+And that was the end of the seven young Guinea Pigs.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER X.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG CATS.
+
+The seven young Cats set off on their travels with great delight and
+rapacity. But, on coming to the top of a high hill, they perceived at a
+long distance off a Clangle-Wangle (or, as it is more properly written,
+Clangel-Wangel); and, in spite of the warning they had had, they ran
+straight up to it.
+
+(Now, the Clangle-Wangle is a most dangerous and delusive beast, and by no
+means commonly to be met with. They live in the water as well as on land,
+using their long tail as a sail when in the former element. Their speed is
+extreme; but their habits of life are domestic and superfluous, and their
+general demeanor pensive and pellucid. On summer evenings, they may
+sometimes be observed near the Lake Pipple-Popple, standing on their heads,
+and humming their national melodies. They subsist entirely on vegetables,
+excepting when they eat veal or mutton or pork or beef or fish or
+saltpetre.)
+
+The moment the Clangle-Wangle saw the seven young Cats approach, he ran
+away; and as he ran straight on for four months, and the Cats, though they
+continued to run, could never overtake him, they all gradually _died_ of
+fatigue and exhaustion, and never afterwards recovered.
+
+And this was the end of the seven young Cats.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER XI.
+
+THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN YOUNG FISHES.
+
+The seven young Fishes swam across the Lake Pipple-Popple, and into the
+river, and into the ocean; where, most unhappily for them, they saw, on the
+fifteenth day of their travels, a bright-blue Boss-Woss, and instantly swam
+after him. But the Blue Boss-Woss plunged into a
+    perpendicular,
+        spicular,
+            orbicular,
+                quadrangular,
+                     circular depth of soft mud;
+where, in fact, his house was.
+
+And the seven young Fishes, swimming with great and uncomfortable velocity,
+plunged also into the mud quite against their will, and, not being
+accustomed to it, were all suffocated in a very short period.
+
+And that was the end of the seven young Fishes.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER XII.
+
+OF WHAT OCCURRED SUBSEQUENTLY.
+
+After it was known that the
+
+            seven young Parrots,
+    and the seven young Storks,
+    and the seven young Geese,
+    and the seven young Owls,
+    and the seven young Guinea Pigs,
+    and the seven young Cats,
+    and the seven young Fishes,
+
+were all dead, then the Frog, and the Plum-pudding Flea, and the Mouse, and
+the Clangle-Wangle, and the Blue Boss-Woss, all met together to rejoice
+over their good fortune. And they collected the seven feathers of the seven
+young Parrots, and the seven bills of the seven young Storks, and the
+lettuce, and the cherry; and having placed the latter on the lettuce, and
+the other objects in a circular arrangement at their base, they danced a
+hornpipe round all these memorials until they were quite tired; after which
+they gave a tea-party, and a garden-party, and a ball, and a concert, and
+then returned to their respective homes full of joy and respect, sympathy,
+satisfaction, and disgust.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+CHAPTER XIII.
+
+OF WHAT BECAME OF THE PARENTS OF THE FORTY-NINE CHILDREN.
+
+BUT when the two old Parrots,
+     and the two old Storks,
+     and the two old Geese,
+     and the two old Owls,
+     and the two old Guinea Pigs,
+     and the two old Cats,
+     and the two old Fishes,
+
+became aware, by reading in the newspapers, of the calamitous extinction of
+the whole of their families, they refused all further sustenance; and,
+sending out to various shops, they purchased great quantities of Cayenne
+pepper and brandy and vinegar and blue sealing-wax, besides seven immense
+glass bottles with air-tight stoppers. And, having done this, they ate a
+light supper of brown-bread and Jerusalem artichokes, and took an
+affecting and formal leave of the whole of their acquaintance, which was
+very numerous and distinguished and select and responsible and ridiculous.
+
+
+CHAPTER XIV.
+
+CONCLUSION.

+And after this they filled the bottles with the ingredients for pickling,
+and each couple jumped into a separate bottle; by which effort, of course,
+they all died immediately, and became thoroughly pickled in a few minutes;
+having previously made their wills (by the assistance of the most eminent
+lawyers of the district), in which they left strict orders that the
+stoppers of the seven bottles should be carefully sealed up with the blue
+sealing-wax they had purchased; and that they themselves, in the bottles,
+should be presented to the principal museum of the city of Tosh, to be
+labelled with parchment or any other anti-congenial succedaneum, and to be
+placed on a marble table with silver-gilt legs, for the daily inspection
+and contemplation, and for the perpetual benefit, of the pusillanimous
+public.
+
+And if you ever happen to go to Gramble-Blamble, and visit that museum in
+the city of Tosh, look for them on the ninety-eighth table in the four
+hundred and twenty-seventh room of the right-hand corridor of the left wing
+of the central quadrangle of that magnificent building; for, if you do not,
+you certainly will not see them.

+                 NONSENSE COOKERY.
+
+Extract from "The Nonsense Gazette," for August, 1870.
+
+"Our readers will be interested in the following communications from our
+valued and learned contributor, Prof. Bosh, whose labors in the fields of
+culinary and botanical science are so well known to all the world. The
+first three articles richly merit to be added to the domestic cookery of
+every family: those which follow claim the attention of all botanists; and
+we are happy to be able, through Dr. Bosh's kindness, to present our
+readers with illustrations of his discoveries. All the new flowers are
+found in the Valley of Verrikwier, near the Lake of Oddgrow, and on the
+summit of the Hill Orfeltugg."
+
+
+
+THREE RECEIPTS FOR DOMESTIC COOKERY.
+
+
+TO MAKE AN AMBLONGUS PIE.
+
+Take 4 pounds (say 4-1/2 pounds) of fresh Amblongusses, and put them in a
+small pipkin.
+
+Cover them with water, and boil them for 8 hours incessantly; after which
+add 2 pints of new milk, and proceed to boil for 4 hours more.
+
+When you have ascertained that the Amblongusses are quite soft, take them
+out, and place them in a wide pan, taking care to shake them well
+previously.
+
+Grate some nutmeg over the surface, and cover them carefully with powdered
+gingerbread, curry-powder, and a sufficient quantity of Cayenne pepper.
+
+Remove the pan into the next room, and place it on the floor. Bring it back
+again, and let it simmer for three-quarters of an hour. Shake the pan
+violently till all the Amblongusses have become of a pale purple color.
+
+Then, having prepared the paste, insert the whole carefully; adding at the
+same time a small pigeon, 2 slices of beef, 4 cauliflowers, and any number
+of oysters.
+
+Watch patiently till the crust begins to rise, and add a pinch of salt from
+time to time.
+
+Serve up in a clean dish, and throw the whole out of window as fast as
+possible.
+
+
+TO MAKE CRUMBOBBLIOUS CUTLETS.
+
+Procure some strips of beef, and, having cut them into the smallest
+possible slices, proceed to cut them still smaller,--eight, or perhaps
+nine times.
+
+When the whole is thus minced, brush it up hastily with a new
+clothes-brush, and stir round rapidly and capriciously with a salt-spoon
+or a soup-ladle.
+
+Place the whole in a saucepan, and remove it to a sunny place,--say the
+roof of the house, if free from sparrows or other birds,--and leave it
+there for about a week.
+
+At the end of that time add a little lavender, some oil of almonds, and a
+few herring-bones; and then cover the whole with 4 gallons of clarified
+Crumbobblious sauce, when it will be ready for use.
+
+Cut it into the shape of ordinary cutlets, and serve up in a clean
+table-cloth or dinner-napkin.
+
+
+TO MAKE GOSKY PATTIES.
+
+Take a pig three or four years of age, and tie him by the off hind-leg to a
+post. Place 5 pounds of currants, 3 of sugar, 2 pecks of peas, 18 roast
+chestnuts, a candle, and 6 bushels of turnips, within his reach: if he eats
+these, constantly provide him with more.
+
+Then procure some cream, some slices of Cheshire cheese, 4 quires of
+foolscap paper, and a packet of black pins. Work the whole into a paste,
+and spread it out to dry on a sheet of clean brown waterproof linen.
+
+When the paste is perfectly dry, but not before, proceed to beat the pig
+violently with the handle of a large broom. If he squeals, beat him again.
+
+Visit the paste and beat the pig alternately for some days, and ascertain
+if, at the end of that period, the whole is about to turn into Gosky
+Patties.
+
+If it does not then, it never will; and in that case the pig may be let
+loose, and the whole process may be considered as finished.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
