An illustration from St. Nicholas [serial], 1873, leaf 169
all wrong! Oh, dear!I 11 have to stop the tale right here.You cant imagine Pompeys joy,Because when Pompey was a boy HE HUNG HIS SANDALS UP INSTEAD. And when with gifts and toys arrayed,Quite a fair Christmas tree it made,Although t was very high. Indeed,A tall step-ladder one would needTo reach… … Of Christmas presents he had none;For Christmases had not begunWhen Pompey was a boy!
