An illustration from The brownies through the Union, 1895, leaf 35 — 17 THE BROWNIES IN RHODE ISLAND. And talk about the sort of fishThat could supply a savory dish.From place to place with spirits hghtThey jom-neved on thi-oughout the night;Where roads were bad through recent rainThat overflowed each ditch and drainTill mud was more than ankle-deep,Upon the fences… … Thus ready for whatever fateMay bring around, they travel straightAnd take the countiy or the climeJust as they find it at the time.And even should there be a thudOr splash at times into the mud, 18 THE BROWNIES IN RHODE ISLAND.
