Extract from Letter dated 



Imperial Hotel, Newcastle, 

 Nov. 19, 1911. 



My wife and I rather surprised our friends about a month ago by 

 starting a family after being married eleven and a half years. They 

 are both well, and I hope to take them north on Tuesday. 



I am sure also that all beaglers will wish him and his happiness 

 in all the ups and downs of Hfe that are before them. 



So then drink, puppy, drink ! 



And let every puppy drink 

 That is old enough to lap and to swaUow ! 



For he'U grow into a hound, 



So we'll pass the bottle round 

 And merrily we'll whoo-oop and we'll holloa ! 



Himting Ditty of the Eighties.
