The Effects of the Late Rains

The Effects of the Late Rains

Fun (4 September 1873): 97

First Road Sweeper: — “ Sad thing about Bill, ain’t it? Been out of work for three months.”

Second Ditto: — “Well, and no wonder; he’s all very well at the dry, but he ain’t old enough to manage the slush; why he’d drown the people.”
