The spectacle of a small boy whom I meet sometimes in the horse-cars, under the wing of his predestinate idiot of a mother, wrings my very soul.
Is this fine handwriting yours? Then here's to the bumper that proves every friend! Isn't that true? And though when we drink it it wrings us, and it does sometimes!
