THE PEN AND THE ALBUM.

William Makepeace Thackeray

“I am Miss Catherine's book,” the album speaks; “I've lain among your tomes these many weeks; I'm tired of their old coats and yellow cheeks. “Quick, Pen! and write a line with a good grace:

Come! draw me off a funny little face; And, prithee, send me back to Chesham Place.”
