"There is no enterprise in these people, TOBY," he complained. "We in London are much behind the age. We haven't here what in Paris is, I believe, called the Mor-gew: a nice, quiet place to turn into when you are out holiday-making. I have my own resources. When house is shut and I can't go about the basement and cellars smelling out the oil lamps, I sit on edge of fountain in Trafalgar Square and sniff its balmy waters. Everyone not equally independent. If we had only about the parks and in the thoroughfares places open to the respectable public where they might see vivisection going on, we should be a happier nation." _Business done._--House adjourned for the Whitsun recess. Back again June 10. * * * * * Wail of the Wire-puller. Oh dear, what can the matter be? R-S-B-RY doesn't seem hearty. 'Tis very well winning the Derby "Blue Ribbon," But _that_ will not bind up--our Party! * * * NASRULLA KHAN.--On the Sunday immediately following his uncommonly fatiguing first day in town, the SHAHZADA was requested to visit the Zoo. Wire from Porcupine, who, on account of his splendid set of quills, acts as Secretary to the Zoo Society, ran thus:--"_Will Khan visit Zoo?_" Exhausted Receiver's reply brief but to the point, exhibiting fine mastery of English language, "_Khan can't_." * * * CLASSIC TITLE FOR DR.
