The following stanza is taken from Sir Smasham Uppe - Good afternoon, Sir Smasham Uppe ! We’re having tea : do take a cup ! Sugar and milk ? – Now let me see – Two lumps, I think? . . . Good gracious me ! The silly thing slipped off your knee ! Pray don’t apologize, old chap : A very trivial mishap! So clumsy of you ? How absurd ! My dear Sir Smasham, not a word ! Now do sit down and have another, And tell us all about your brother – You know, the one who broke his head. Is the poor fellow still in bed ? – A chair – allow me, sir ! . . . Great Scott ! That was a nasty smash ! Eh, what ? Oh, not at all : the chair was old – Queen Anne, or so we have been told. We’ve got at least a dozen more : Just leave the pieces on the floor. - this poetry selection is as delightful as it is intriguing! A great addition to any bookshelf.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39859984990295,"sku":"7855254","price":5.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/products\/orig_243254_jpg.jpg?v=1658834470","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/a-puffin-quartet-of-poets-1965","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
