La-ven-der's blue, did-dle, did-dle!
La-ven-der's green;
When I am king, did-dle, did-dle!
You shall be queen.
Call up your men, did-dle, did-dle!
Set them to work;
Some to the plough, did-dle, did-dle!
Some to the cart.
Some to make hay, did-dle, did-dle!
Some to cut corn;
While you and I, did-dle, did-dle!
Keep ourselves warm.
REGINALD BLAKE, FINANCIER AND CAD
The advantage of literature over life is that its characters are
clearly defined, and act consistently. Nature, always inartistic,
takes pleasure in creating the impossible. Reginald Blake was as
typical a specimen of the well-bred cad as one could hope to find
between Piccadilly Circus and Hyde Park Corner.
