Extract From Mrs. Rose’s Diary
.
(After John Leech
.)
‘ At Brighton, just a year ago,
As I was leaving Maison
MUTTON,
My scarf got caught, it vexed me so !
On that tall Captain Rose’s button.
I thought he’d think me too inane
And awkward, that September sunny ;
And now September’s come again,
And now we’re married !—Aint it funny ? ’
