'Well, I never thought to see this day, sir, said Gibbs, with something like tears in his voice, as he reluctantly plied his scissors upon Hyacinth Rondel's distinguished curls. 'Nor I, Gibbs nor I! said Rondel sadly, relapsing into silence again, with his head meekly bent over the white sheet spread to catch his shorn beauty.
'It do indeed, sir, said Gibbs, with a shudder, as another little globe of golden brown rolled down into Rondel's lap. 'Poor brown roses! sighed the poet, after another silence; 'they are just like brown roses, aren't they, Gibbs? 'They are indeed, sir!
