Surely this were enough to make any lion, let alone 

 a ' shop-keeping ' lion, put his tail between his legs and 

 howl with anguish. 



But that is not all. Not only does the British lion 

 perceive that many ' Frenchmen ' are come about him, 

 but he is uncomfortably conscious that ' furriners ' close 

 him in on every side. He is beset by animals from 

 Germany, from Austria-Hungary, from Eussia (witness 

 Neva, daughter of Morizet and Zoraide), from America 

 (witness Mate, Preakness, Donna, &c.), and even from
