HEREIN THE FORTUNATE READERS WILL FIND THE HAPPY CONJUNCTION of two very
brilliant young people, whose literary and artistic talents fit like the
proverbial glove, or the musical and lyrical alliance of those
immortals, Gilbert and Sullivan.
Never were epigrams more worthily illustrated, or more worthy of
illustration. The _joie de vivre_, the humour and the human observation
which run through this little volume, will I am sure make a great appeal
to the public possessing or admiring those qualities.
I am proud to think that I was responsible for the journalistic débuts
of both authors, whose work enriched the pages of _The Tatler_ for some
years, and that I have been honoured in being asked to write an
introduction to their first collective effort.
E. HUSKINSON
Editor of _The Tatler_
