...spirit of whimsey which must twinkle in story books. I did not find dear Kate Green-away as I had hoped, but I was gladdened by the sight of eighteenth-century villagers dashing round the Mulberry Bush portrayed by the happy fingers of G. Cox; and Red Riding-hood's thatched cottage; with the villainous wolf standing on the door-step, touched with an eerie grace by the pen of Louis Reynal. What could a child's paper be without dolls, and here to be sure is a page of cut-outs of Campus...
...even Queens must have their troubles and disappointments. Elizabeth has them showered upon her by all the court, by foreign powers and especially by her royal cousin Queen Mayme of Monomania.

Distinguished records in the colonies and large London bank balances are going unrecognized. Feeling runs strong for a higher peerage turnover...
...this operetta in the present manner, we have brimming beakers, tavern brawls, heralds issuing defies, and vagabonds made kings for a day, wooing beautiful ladies pursued by grasping Brugundian nobles. Francois Villon once again lives as the Robin Hood of France; Louis XI consults his astrologer; bibulous rogues hoist their beakers while their voices are raised in fulsome drinking songs; Scottish Guards march boldly; and court ladies make one regret the passing of gallantry in favor of equal rights...
