(Mr. Gerald Balfour.)
The criticks say this is "a life-like pressenment" and the "flesh-tints are remarkeble for there lewminosserty".
The Wheedlepat
This gracefull and culcherd Creature has a very skillful way of getting on the right side of people. They thought at first it was a fish out of water but that was quite wrong. It looks awfull solemm and poetick but that is wrong too. It is very kind and goes into every shanty and cracks jokes and pats the pig. It has got a most bewtifull bill coming which works like majick
It lives on shammrocks and stetististicks with a few batons sometimes —for rellish
The Goash
No 12.
(Mr. Goschen.)
You should hear his riddle about when a lock-out is not a lock-out. It is screemingly funny and evrybody has to give it up!
The Goash
This odd little salt-water Animal is very good at sums and gets on pretty well with the Esstimits. But if you ask him anything very dificult he runs under the gallery to get the answer. When strikes is on he is very kind and doesnt expeck no ships finished—he looks the other way
The Leck
No 13.
(Professor Lecky.)
It seems a grate risk for this one to ventcher out into a rough rude world. I wonder how he gets over the crossings.
The Leck
This gentle Creature is very kind and winsome so everybody likes it. It has a wonderfull brain and knows a lot. When it sees a Artiss about it folds up and tries to look like part of the Dado. It is almost a sin to make its picture.
The Stagynite
No 14.
(Sir Henry Irving.)
Some people considder this riting very rude—it certenly is not foolsome in its prays.
The Stagynite
This funny Creature gets up things very nicely. When people go to see it it makes the queerest noises and stamps on the floor and drags itself about. I expect he says it all right but you cant tell
The Ruddikipple
No 15.
(Mr. Rudyard Kipling.)
They say I have idellised him rather but I cant help it if I have.
The Ruddikipple
This little Animal is very strong and viggrous and knows everything. If anybody tries to beat it it brings out a fresh tail and then nobody cant touch that either. It stirs everybody up so it would make a pew-opener want to die for his country. If a Lorryit shews his nose it just squashes him flat.
The Bobbz
No 16.
(Lord Roberts.)
This is quite a battle-pickture. The handling seggests mysonnyer. I seem wonderfly versytial.
The Bobbz
This tiny little Animal is all pluck and is full of beans, but he does not try to spread himself like some do. Directly an ennemy shews his nose he has a neat little way of "pulling it off." All soldiers like him though he took them very long walks sometimes. He has got such a lot of meddles he has to leave most of them in the cloakroom.
The Showt
No 17.
(Mr. John Burns.)
This is another full-face pickture. I cant do many more of them!
The Showt
This little Animal is very honest and likes to fight. It has a very big voice on both sides—whichever it likes. It likes to get on a waggon in the Park and call out about wellth and capicklists and things. It sounds better out of doors.
The Painticheef
No 18.
(Sir E. J. Poynter.)
I have heard he thaught the droring of this very deaft and mastelly. I should have thaught it was a oppertewnety for the Chantrey Fun but I have herd nothing as yet.
