Singer: "We are doing a great deal of work!" Chorus: "May Allah reward us!" The Tommies' refrain was more picturesque. Imagine six men carrying a crate. Chorus: "I don't think!"

In France there is no Liverpool or Croydon or Sandown for steeple-chases: there is only an Auteuil. The other meetings in the neighborhood of Paris Maisons, Le Vésinet, La Marche are in the hands of shameless speculators like Dennetier, Oller and the rest.

'Wheer be Peter? says 'e over an' over again; 'wheer be the Peter as I found of a sunshiny arternoon, down in th' 'aunted 'Oller?
