Transcriber's Note: The irregular spelling of words ("inquire", "enquire", etc.) in this etext tend to be reproduced faithfully from the 1922 edition, but accents are not preserved . . .
III From Paul you borrow fork and knife To wage a gastronomic strife 'n porringers; and platters rare Of blue Historic Willow-ware.
IV Banquets with cymbal, drum and fife, Or rose-wreathed feasts with riot rife To your chaste suppers can't compare.
V Let those deny the truth who dare! -- Paul, Duncan, Wedgewood! That's the life! All else is bunk and empty air.
ENVOI The Cordon-bleu has set the pace With Goulash, Haggis, Bouillabaisse, Curry, Chop-suey, Kous-Kous Stew -- I can not offer these to you, -- Being a plain, old-fashioned cook, -- So pray accept this scrambled book.
May, 1922 R.W.C.
