THE WASP. 
You have not been down the turf walk for a long 
time. When you do go, you must look at the rose 
bush at the end, by the old ivy wall. On this rose 
you will find a very odd ball, and I dare say you 
will not know what this ball is, if you are not told.

you will not be able to pull it off if you try ; nor 
will it be wise of you to do so, for it is the nest of 
a Wasp, and you must not go too near it. You 
may sit down on the old turf seat, and look at it ; 
you will then be so far off as to be safe, and you 
will then see a hole at the end of the ball. By and
