"A great difference," said Tanny. "Yes, it makes a difference, it makes a difference," mused Julia. "Dear old Rob-ert I wouldn't hurt him for worlds. I wouldn't. Do you think it would hurt Robert?" She screwed up her eyes, looking at Tanny. "Perhaps it would do Robert good to be hurt a little," said Tanny. "He's so well-nourished." "Yes! Yes! I see what you mean, Tanny! Poor old ROB-ert!
Rob-ert of Lin-coln is gayly dressed, Wearing a bright black wedding coat, White are his shoulders and white his crest. Hear him call in his merry note: Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink; Look, what a nice new coat is mine, Sure there was never a bird so fine. Chee, chee, chee.

"Robert is young, and inexperienced," said Josephine, suddenly turning with anger. "But I don't know why you talk about him." "Is he inexperienced, Josephine dear? IS he?" sang Julia.
