Well, the capting and his missus travelled and travelled until they come to a thick forest, which was full of lions and tigers--as thick as fleas in a blanket. Well, to make a long story short, the lions attacked the capting, who says to his missus: 'Get behind me,' and outs with his sword, and outs with his gun, and outs with his baginet. The gun missed fire, the baginet bent, and the sword broke, and the lion knocked the capting down and clored him up until he hung in strips like cats' meat on a skewer. The lady climbed up a tree and fainted at the 'orrible spectickle, whence she was rescued by a tribe of friendly Indians and took 'ome to her ma. On her arrival she gave buth to a female hinfant, which was born with a mane owin' to the fite. This lady--let down your black 'air, my dear--is that female hinfant. Well, if you reads your Bible and goes to church, you know well enough that out of evil good may come. This lady now makes a 'onest livin' out of her 'air. The press of the world has spoken in the highest terms of her 'air, and not a week passes but what some new 'air lotion offers her cash down just to say that her 'air is the result of their lotion. She 's a 'onest woman and spurns away the serpints. They 've grown better since old mother Eve. The lion-'aired lady is also a hairynaut. I suppose you 've all heard o' the strongjawed woman, and how she comes down with a balloon a-'angin' on by her teeth. Well, she ain't in it with my lion-'aired lady. Last year, you may believe me or not--(it was at a Primrose fete),--she descended a mile a-'angin' on by the 'air of 'er 'ed...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
