Jerome K. Jerome Quotes

My Dear Princess, If You Could Creep Unseen About Your City, Peeping At Will Through The Curtain-shielded Windows, You Would Come To Think That All The World Was Little Else Than A Big Nursery Full Of Crying Children With None To Comfort Them. The Doll Is Broken: No Longer It Sweetly Sqeaks In Answer To Our Pressure, "I Love You, Kiss Me." The Drum Lies Silent With The Drumstick Inside, No Longer Do We Make A Brave Noise In The Nursery. The Box Of Tea-things We Have Clumsily Put Out Foot Upon; There Will Be No More Merry Parties Around The Three-legged Stool. The Tin Trumpet Will Not Play The Note We Want To Sound; The Wooden Bricks Keep Falling Down; The Toy Has Exploded And Burnt Our Fingers. Never Mind, Little Man, Little Woman, We Will Try And Mend Things To-morrow
