Matilda Jane
âMATILDA J.ANE, you never look
At any toy or picture-book:
I show you pretty things in vainâ
You must be blind, Matilda Jane!

You must be blind, Matilda Jane!
âI ask you riddles, tell you tales,
But all our conversation fails:
You never answer me againâ
I fear youâre dumb, Matilda Jane!
But all our conversation fails:
You never answer me againâ
I fear youâre dumb, Matilda Jane!
âMatilda, darling, when I call,
You never seem to hear at all:
I shout with all my might and mainâ
But youâre so deaf, Matilda Jane!
You never seem to hear at all:
I shout with all my might and mainâ
But youâre so deaf, Matilda Jane!
âMatilda Jane, you neednât mind:
For, though youâre deaf, and dumb, and blind,
Thereâs some one loves you, it is plainâ
And that is me, Matilda Jane!â
For, though youâre deaf, and dumb, and blind,
Thereâs some one loves you, it is plainâ

What Tottles Meant
âONE thousand pounds per annuum
Is not so bad a figure, come!â
Cried Tottles. âAnd I tell you, flat,
A man may marry well on that!
To say âthe Husband needs the Wifeâ
Is not the way to represent it.
The crowning joy of Womanâs life
Is Man!â said Tottles (and he meant it).
The blissful Honeymoon is past:
The Pair have settled down at last:
Mamma-in-law their home will share,
And make their happiness her care.
âYour income is an ample one:
Go it, my children!â (And they went it).
âI rayther think this kind of fun
Wonât last!â said Tottles (and he meant it).
Is not so bad a figure, come!â
Cried Tottles. âAnd I tell you, flat,
A man may marry well on that!

They took a little country-boxââ
A box at Covent Garden also:
They lived a life of double-knocks,
Acquaintances began to call so:
Their London house was much the same
(It took three hundred, clear, to rent it):
âLife is a very jolly game!â
Cried happy Tottles (and he meant it).

âContented with a frugal lotâ
(He always used that phrase at Gunterâs),
He bought a handy little yachtâ
A dozen serviceable huntersâ
The fishing of a Highland Lochâ
A sailing-boat to circumvent itâ
âThe sounding of that Gaelic âochâ
Beats me!â said Tottles (and he meant it).

But oh, the worst of human ills
(Poor Tottles found) are âlittle billsâ!
And, with no balance in the Bank,
What wonder that his spirits sank?
Still, as the money flowed away,
He wondered how on earth she spent it.
âYou cost me twenty pounds a day,
At least!â cried Tottles (and he meant it).

She sighed. âThose Drawing Rooms, you know!
I really never thought about it:
Mamma declared we ought to goâ
We should be Nobodies without it.
That diamond circlet for my browâ
I quite believed that she had sent it,
Until the Bill came in just nowâââ
âViper!â cried Tottles (and he meant it).

Poor Mrs. T. could bear no more,
But fainted flat upon the floor.
Mamma-in-law, with anguish wild,
Seeks, all in vain, to rouse her child.
âQuick! Take this box of smelling-salts!
Donât scold her, James, or youâll repent it,
Sheâs a dear girl, with all her faultsâââ
âShe is!â groaned Tottles (and he meant it).

âI was a donkey,â Tottles cried,
âTo choose your daughter for my bride!
âTwas you that bid us cut a dash!
âTis you have brought us to this smash!
You donât suggest one single thing
That can in any way prevent it-
Then whatâs the use of arguing?
Shut up!â cried Tottles (and he meant it).

âAnd, now the mischiefâs done, perhaps
Youâll kindly go and pack your traps?
Since two (your daughter and your son)
Are Company, but three are none.
A course of saving weâll begin:
When change is needed, Iâll invent it:
Donât think to put your finger in
This pie!â cried Tottles (and he meant it).

See now this couple settled down
In quiet lodgings, out of town:
Submissively the tearful wife
Accepts a plain and humble life:
Yet begs one boon on bended knee:
âMy ducky-darling, donât resent it!
Mamma might come for two or threeâââ
âNEVER!â yelled Tottles. And he meant it.

No burly big Blunderbore he:
