Now if we overstay our leave and don't get down, you know what the consequences will be."
"Paddy Finn"
W. H. G. Kingston

"The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1 of 2)"
Frederic G. Kenyon
I'm not one to lend and borrow, I'm not one to overstay- I shall go alone tomorrow Whistling, as I came today.
