O'ER THE PROPHECY PORED

ON THE ROYAL DOOR-MAT

TAKING THE AIR

He's a Glug of the old Gosh school! And he'll climb a tree, if the East wind blows, In a casual way, just to show he knows . . . Now, tickle his toes! Oh, tickle his toes!And don't blame me if you come to blows.--OLD GOSH RHYME

I. THE GLUG QUEST
