HONOURS DIVIDED.

Writers can't speak in public. So says WALTER.

They mumble, stumble, hammer, stammer, falter!

BESANT, why grumble at fate's distribution?

To writers, sense; to speakers, elocution!

Some books are bosh, but all experience teaches

"Rot's" native realm is--After-dinner Speeches!
